The anisotropy of the critical current density J(c) was determined from angular critical current measurements for YBa(2)Cu(3)O(6+x) (YBCO) thin films laser deposited from a nanograined and a BaZrO(3)-doped nanograined target. In quantitative analysis using Blatter scaling the effective J(c) anisotropy was found to be much smaller than for standard YBCO films. (C) 2008 American Institute of Physics.
