Abstract

La0.67Sr0.33MnO3 (LSMO) nanoparticles/SrTiO3 (STO) structures were prepared as substrates using RF magnetron sputtering and GdBa2Cu3O7−x [(Gd)BCO] films were deposited on top. A significant improvement in superconductivity is observed under a magnetic field parallel to the GBCO H//c-axis. Due to the wider hysteresis loop, we observe that the Jc value of (Gd)BCO films on LSMO/STO remains at 1.0 × 105 A cm−2 at 77 K and 3 T magnetic field compared to 1.0 × 102 A cm−2 for (Gd)BCO films grown on bare STO. A significant enhancement of Fp and a shift of the [(Fp)max] magnetic field from 0.8 to 1.5 T. LSMO-induced defects and pinned Vortex properties in GdBa2Cu3O7−x matrix were investigated. We find that the formation of threading dislocation defects along the H//c-axis is the source of the improved induced properties in the GdBa2Cu3O7−x matrix.
