Since the discovery of high-temperature superconductors (HTSs), significant progress in the
fabrication of HTS films has been achieved. In this review, we intend to provide an overview …

Nanoparticles of BaSnO 3 were incorporated into YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7− x (YBCO) films on LaAlO
3 substrates for magnetic flux pinning enhancements. More than an order of magnitude …

The thickness dependence was studied for the critical current density (J c) of YBa 2 Cu 3 O
7− x (YBCO)+ BaSnO 3 (BSO) nanocomposite films. These films showed a significantly …

Y Ba 2 Cu 3 O 7− x (YBCO) films with nanoparticles of Ba Sn O 3 (BSO) were processed
using pulsed laser ablation of a special target made with dual phase sectors of YBCO and …

The effect of incorporation of nanoscale Y 2 BaCuO 5 (Y211) inclusions on the vortex
pinning properties of YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7-δ (YBCO or Y123) superconducting thin films is …

Abstract YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7− x+ Y 2 O 3-stabilized ZrO 2 (YBCO+ YSZ) mixed films were
prepared on SrTiO 3/MgO substrates by pulsed-laser deposition from a YBCO target with a …

The effect of hybrid (columnar and spherical together) artificial pinning centers (APCs) on
the vortex pinning properties of YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7− δ (YBCO) thin films is investigated in detail …

To enhance the critical current density of Y Ba 2 Cu 3 O 7− δ films, flux pinning centers are
intentionally added to inhibit flux flow in applied magnetic fields. Here we provide an initial …

We demonstrate that the maximum of the bulk pinning force (F p, max) of YBCO films with
BaSnO 3 nanoparticles (YBCO+ BSO) can be more than twice the value of F p, max of …

Critical current density (J c) and irreversibility field (B irr) were measured for a GdBa 2 Cu 3
O 7− δ film with gold nanorods which were elongated along the c-axis of the film. The …
