The lossless transmission of direct electrical currents in superconductors is very often
regarded as an “energy superhighway” with greatly enhanced efficiency. With the discovery …

We studied the flux pinning properties of BaZrO 3-doped YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7− x and BaSnO 3-
doped YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7− x films. We found that BaSnO 3-doped films showed very high …

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 …

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 …

Abstract YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7− x+ BaSnO 3 (YBCO+ BSO) mixed films with increasing BSO
content were prepared on SrTiO 3 substrates by pulsed laser deposition from YBCO+x wt …

The pinning of vortex lines by an array of nanoparticles embedded inside superconductors
has become the most efficient practical way to achieve high critical currents. In this scenario …

The controlled growth of self‐assembled second‐phase nanostructures has been shown to
be an essential tool for enhancing properties of several composite oxide thin film systems …

We argue that the current carrying properties of high-temperature superconducting thin films
can be further improved, in particular under the mid-field range (B≈ 0.1–2 T), via …

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 …

The ex situ process has emerged as a popular technology for growing epitaxial YBa 2 Cu 3
O 7 (YBCO) for the second generation of coated conductors. The process combines low …
