Abstract

AbstractThis work examines the pinning enhancement in BaZrO3(BZO) +Y2O3doubly-doped (DD) YBa2Cu3O7(YBCO) nanocomposite multilayer (DD-ML) films. The film consists of two 10 nm thin Ca0.3Y0.7Ba2Cu3O7-x(CaY-123) spacers stacking alternatively with three BZO + Y2O3/YBCO layers of 50 nm each in thickness that contain 3 vol% of Y2O3and BZO doping in the range of 2–6 vol%. Enhanced magnetic vortex pinning and improved pinning isotropy with respect to the orientation of magnetic field (B) have been achieved in the DD-ML samples at lower BZO doping as compared to that in the single-layer counterparts (DD-SL) without the CaY-123 spacers. For example, the pinning force density (Fp) of ∼58 GNm−3in 2 vol.% of DD-ML film is ∼110% higher than in 2 vol% of DD-SL at 65 K andB//c-axis, which is attributed to the improved pinning efficiency byc-axis aligned BZO nanorods through diffusion of Calcium (Ca) along the tensile-strained channels at BZO nanorods/YBCO interface for improvement of the interface microstructure and hence pinning efficiency of BZO nanorods. An additional benefit is in the considerably improvedJc(θ) and reducedJcanisotropy in the former over the entire range of the B orientations. However, at higher BZO doping, the BZO nanorods become segmented and misoriented, which may change the Ca diffusion pathways and reduce the benefit of Ca in improving the pinning efficiency of BZO nanorods.
