High temperature superconductor (HTS) films on long length metallic tapes, known as coated conductors, are quickly becoming a reality for use in superconducting motors and generators. One way to ensure good biaxial texturing of the HTS film is via the use of a buffer layer deposited by inclined substrate deposition (ISD). In order to improve the in-field performance of such coated conductors, nanoscale inclusions can be incorporated into the HTS layer to pin flux vortices. Until now it is not known how effectively such pinning centres can be incorporated into HTS films grown on ISD substrates due to the unique growth process of the HTS layer. In this work we have prepared GdBa2Cu3O7−x films grown heteroepitaxially on ISD-MgO buffered tapes via e-beam evaporation. We show how such nanoscale inclusions are arranged within the film. We also present data for the in-field critical current anisotropy of such films, displaying the effectiveness of the incorporated inclusions as pinning centres.
