High-temperature superconductors might be applied in advanced electromagnets for the purpose of high field experiments. To realize such new types of superconducting magnets, the critical current density of high-temperature superconductors like YBa2Cu3O7−δ (YBCO) needs to be improved. To achieve this goal, flux lines have to be immobilized in particular at the application temperature.
Therefore, we introduce nanoscaled pinning centers applying YBCO targets mixed with different amounts of the secondary phases. The incorporation of Ba2YNbO6 and Ba2YTaO6 nanoparticles in the YBCO matrix leads to the formation of very fine self-assembled nanorods with significantly improved critical current densities Jc(B,θ)[1,2].
To study this behavior in more detail, thin undoped and doped films were prepared on single crystalline substrates by pulsed laser deposition. X-ray diffraction and texture measurements were carried out to determine the crystal structure, whereas inductive and transport current measurements were performed to evaluate the superconducting properties Tc and Jc(B) in different temperature regions.
