Аннотация:We grow BaHfO3 (BHO) nanorods in REBa2Cu3O7−x (REBCO, RE: Gd or Y) thin films on metal tapes coated with the inclined substrate deposited (ISD)-MgO template by both electron beam physical vapour deposition and pulsed laser deposition. In both cases the nanorods are inclined by an angle of 21°–29° with respect to the sample surface normal as a consequence of the tilted growth of the REBCO film resulting from the ISD-MgO layer. We present angular critical current density (J c) anisotropy as well as field- and temperature-dependant J c data of the BHO nanorod-containing GdBCO films demonstrating an increase in J c over a wide range of temperatures between 30 and 77 K and magnetic fields up to 8 T. In addition, we show that the angle of the peak in the J c anisotropy curve resulting from the nanorods is dependent both on temperature and magnetic field. The largest J c enhancement from the addition of the nanorods was found to occur at 30 K, 3 T, resulting in a J c of 3.0 MA cm−2.
