摘要
By studying angular dependences of the transport critical current density (J(c)), we demonstrate that the strongest controllable improvement of flux pinning takes place at Hparallel toc, while the highest J(c) occurs at Hperpendicular toc for the artificial multilayers consisting of three RBa2Cu3O7-delta (R=Gd, Nd, and Eu) superconductors. It is found that the flux pinning and its anisotropy are tailored mainly due to the collective pinning behavior of noncorrelated, out-of-plane structural disorders. The field dependence of flux-pinning anisotropy is revealed to be nonmonotonic, and governed by two characteristic fields, i.e., irreversibility and accommodation fields.
