Abstract
A combined BaZrO 3 (BZO) and Y 2O 3 nanoparticles has been achieved in YBa 2Cu 3O 7-x (YBCO) films by metalorganic deposition using trifluoroacetates (TFA-MOD). The formation of integrated nanoparticles increases the critical current density (J c) of Y 2O 3/BZO doped-YBCO films while keeping the critical transition temperature (T c) close to that in the pure YBCO films. The YBCO film with 7.0 mol.% BZO and 7.0 mol.% Y 2O 3 showed T c value of 90 K and J c value of 6.5 mA/cm 2 at self-field (0 T, 77 K). The strongly enhanced flux pinning over a wide range of magnetic field can be attributed to the combined different crystal structures of BZO and Y 2O 3 created by optimized TFA-MOD conditions.
