  • Abstract
    YBa2Cu3O7-δ (YBCO) films with a thickness of up to 2 μm containing nano-sized BaHfO3 (BHO) have been grown on biaxially textured metal tapes by pulsed laser deposition. Transmission electron microscopy revealed the inclusion of Y2O3 platelets and rod-like BHO structures. A c-axis oriented growth of the YBCO layer and biaxial oriented incorporation of BHO is confirmed by X-Ray diffraction. BHO expands the c-axis of YBCO, flattens the surface of YBCO and densifies the films. Y2O3 inclusions get smaller and finer distributed, possibly with a positive influence on pinning effects. A superconducting transition temperature Tc of about 89 K was determined, decreasing slightly with increasing BHO content. Transport current measurements in the maximum Lorentz force configuration showed an increased irreversibility field Hirr and higher pinning force density Fp with increasing BHO content in high magnetic fields.
