摘要

The vortex dynamics for a high-performance BaZrO3 doped (Y0.5Gd0.5)Ba2Cu3O7-δ superconducting films are investigated by a dynamic magnetization-relaxation method. The superconducting films have dense columnar defects with density ~ 1.1×1011 cm−2. The dynamic relaxation rates exhibit a complex temperature dependence, indicating the presence of multiple magnetic vortex phase transitions and complex vortex-vortex interactions. Based on the experimental data, a vortex phase diagram has been constructed, which shows a large vortex elastic motion region suggesting strong flux pinning and potential applications of the REBCO films. There seems to be a vortex slush region under magnetic fields less than 2 T within the temperature range from 10 to 25 K. The investigation on the vortex pinning mechanisms indicates that δl-pinning takes the key role for the vortex motion in the present REBCO films. Based on the present results, it is believed that introducing strong δTc-pinning into REBCO superconducting films is the key to further improving their performance at high temperatures and strong magnetic fields.
