Tiivistelmä
We report the effect of 4 wt% BZO-doping in GdBCO thin films on (100) STO substrates with novel nanograined target materials deposited by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) method. X-ray diffraction, atomic force microscopy and magnetization measurements, which were made in particularly wide temperature and magnetic field range, were used to determine the structural and superconducting properties. The results were compared with ones of YBCO. The deposition temperature, T(s), is not very critical for GdBCO and it is found to be much lower in undoped and BZO-doped GdBCO than in YBCO. The BZO-doping of GdBCO enhanced the field dependence of critical current density, j(c), at low temperatures. Furthermore, BZO-doping enhances the accommodation field, B*, below 60 K being clearly higher at 10 K in doped GdBCO than in YBCO. The pinning mechanism in GdBCO was concluded to be similar to that of YBCO. Our results clearly show that undoped and BZO-doped nanophase GdBCO is a very promising target material for applications as well as for coated conductors.
