Abstract

Abstract We have measured the temperature and magnetic field dependence of the critical current densities in highly textured BiSrCaCuOxide thin films. The samples measured were either nearly single phase Bi 2 Sr 2 CaCu 2 O 8 or a mixture of Bi 2 Sr 2 CaCu 2 O 8 and Bi 2 Sr 2 Ca 2 Cu 3 O 10 . The zero-field critical current density increased almost linearly with decreasing temperature for both types of samples, reaching approximately 5×10 4 A/cm 2 at 4.2K. At 4.2K the critical current density was > 10 4 A/cm 2 even in fields of 6.7 kOe. However, the current carrying capacity of both types of samples was easily destroyed at 77K by application of fields of only a few hundred Oe perpendicular to the copper-oxide planes. Critical current densities were much less sensitive to field at both 4.2K and 77K when the field was applied parallel to the copper-oxide planes.
