Anisotropic temperature-dependent current densities in vicinal YBCO — •Märit Djupmyr and Joachim Albrecht — Max-Planck-Institut für Metallforschung, Heisenbergstr. 3, 70569 Stuttgart

Thin epitaxial films of YBa2Cu3O7−δ grown on vicinal cut substrates exhibit a substantial anisotropy of the critical current density jc in the film plane. By means of quantitative magneto-optical analysis it is possible to independently investigate the current densities along the two occurring current directions. A detailed analysis of the temperature dependence of the critical currents in the range of T=5−90 K will be shown. Completely different behavior of jc(T) along the different directions were found. Describing the data by a step-wise power-law ansatz allows to distinguish between different current limiting mechanisms like thermal depinning and depairing which are important in different temperature ranges.
