Abstract
Large critical currents with a relatively weak magnetic field dependence are obtained in thick films of TlBa2Ca2Cu3Oz. Transport measurements indicate Jc ≳105 A/cm2 at 77 K, zero field, and Jc≳104 at 60 K in a 2 T field applied along the c‐axis. The observed behavior is attributed to a large degree of uniaxial alignment of platelike grains, and to superior intragranular flux pinning. These results are consistent with recent theories concerning the nature of vortices in highly anisotropic (layered) superconductors and ‘‘brick wall’’models of intergranular current transport.Keywords
