摘要
Each discovery of a new high temperature superconductor drives the expectation that advanced engineering of materials defect structures will enable effective vortex pinning and high values of the electrical current density. Here, we demonstrate that single crystals of the iron-based superconductor Ba0.6K0.4Fe2As2 with T-c = 37.5K can accommodate an unprecedented large concentration of strong-pinning defects in the form of discontinuous nm-sized nanorods with no degradation of the superconducting transition temperature. At a temperature of 5K, we find a critical current density of 5 MA/cm(2) that is magnetic field independent in fields up to 7 T. (C) 2012 American Institute of Physics.
