Description

BaMO3 (M=Hf, Sn)-doped Sm1+xBa2-xCu3Oy (x=0, 0.04) superconducting films were fabricated by pulsed-laser deposition (PLD). It is known that BaMO3 nanorods are formed in superconducting films and that the morphology of nanorods affects the superconducting properties, particularly the critical current density (JC) properties. In this study, superconducting films were fabricated by conventional PLD and by PLD using a low-temperature growth technique to control the morphology of the nanorods. The relationship between the nanorod morphology and JC properties is discussed. (author)
