Abstract
Epitaxial YBa 2Cu 3O 7-x /BaZrO 3 films were prepared by complex metal-organic solutions including Y, Ba and Cu anhydrous trifluoroacetate precursors and Zr acetylacetonate precursors. The influence of the amount of BaZrO 3 (BZO) on the structure and properties of YBa 2Cu 3O 7-x (YBCO) films was systematically investigated. The YBCO films having 7 mol % BZO have a maximum critical current density (J c) value (77 K, 0 T) of 6.0 MA/cm 2. The enhanced J c derives from a high density of BZO nanoparticles existing in the YBCO matrix. With increasing BZO amount, J c of the YBCO films begins to decrease due to larger particles.
