High upper critical field (120 T) with small anisotropy of highly hydrogen-substituted SmFeAsO epitaxial film

Abstract

The electronic transport properties of a highly hydrogen-substituted 1111-type SmFeAsO epitaxial film with high critical-temperature (Tc = 45 K) were investigated under high magnetic fields. By using a single-turn magnet generating up to 130 T, we clarified that the upper critical field (μ0Hc2) of SmFeAsO0.65H0.35 is 120 T at the nearly low-temperature limit of 2.2 K for μ0H || ab. The angular dependence of μ0Hc2 revealed that the anisotropic parameter (γ) around Tc is ~2, which is comparable with that of a practical candidate 122-type BaFe2As2 with lower Tc and much smaller than that of F-substituted SmFeAsO. The small γ mainly originates from the high hydrogen incorporation. The extremely high μ0Hc2 and small γ, together with the high Tc and high critical current density, suggest that SmFeAsO1-xHx has high potential for the superconducting electromagnets and cables.
