摘要
The dependence of the critical current density (J(c)) on the orientation of an applied magnetic field was studied for a prototype (Gd,Y)Ba2Cu3O7-x (GdYBCO) coated conductor fabricated by MCCVD on an IBAD-MgO template. Additional rare-earth cations (Y and Gd) and Zr were incorporated into the superconducting film to form (Y,Gd)(2)O-3 and BaZrO3 nanoparticles extended nearly parallel to the a-b planes and to the c-axis, respectively, to enhance the flux pinning. In-field measurement of J(c) was carried out with electrical current flowing either along or perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the tape, while a maximum Lorentz force configuration was always maintained. Details in the angular dependence of J(c) were related to the unique structure of the film, specifically the tilt in the GdYBCO lattice and the tilts in the extended (Y,Gd)(2)O-3 and BaZrO3 nanoparticles. XRD and TEM were used to study the structure of the coated conductor. The effect of the misalignment between the external field H and the internal field B on the angular dependence of J(c) is discussed. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
