Abstract

Thin films of the high Tc superconductor YBa2Cu3O7−δ were prepared and characterized. The films made on SrTiO3 showed epitaxial growth and high critical current densities in excess of 9×104 at 78 K and 2×106 at 4.2 K. Also, surface pinning in the parallel direction was found to be very high. The measurements put a lower limit on the depairing critical current density of 5×107 A/cm2.
