Abstract

We report on the magnetic field and angular dependence of the critical current density of epitaxial FeTe0.5Se0.5 thin films. The films exhibit high critical current values and weak dependence on the applied magnetic field. The Jc is larger for field parallel to the c-axis, which is the opposite behavior of what expected from the critical field anisotropy. The analysis of the activation energy for vortex motion indicates that the single pinning regime holds up to 9 T, suggesting that correlated pinning centers are more effective than the vortex-vortex interaction even at the largest applied fields. Scanning tunneling microscope analysis indicates threading dislocations as possible pinning centers.
