    Abstract

    In order to achieve high irreversibility field (Birr), we fabricated (Nd, Eu, Gd)Ba2Cu3Oy (NEGBCO) thin films by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) method and low temperature growth (LTG) technique. In the LTG-NEGBCO films on MgO, critical current density (Jc) at 77 K and magnetic field B = 5 T was 0.13 MA/cm2 twice as high as that of PLD-NEGBCO/MgO and Birr at 77 K reached 11.8 T. Interestingly, the anomalous peaks on the Jc-B and Fp-B (flux pinning force density Fp = Jc × B) curves at 77 K and B = 4 T were observed on the LTG-NEGBCO/MgO films. From these results, we can consider that NEGBCO films are good candidates and LTG is an effective technique for improving superconducting properties.
