Abstract
We report on the isotropic pinning obtained in epitaxial Fe(Se,Te) thin films grown on CaF2(001) substrate. High critical current density values – larger than 1 MA/cm2 in self field and liquid helium – are reached together with a very weak dependence on the magnetic field and a complete isotropy. Analysis through transmission electron microscopy evidences the presence of defects looking like lattice disorder at a very small scale, between 5 and 20 nm, which are thought to be responsible for such isotropic behavior in contrast to what was observed on SrTiO3, where defects parallel to the c-axis enhance pinning in that direction.
