Anisotropic, non-monotonic behavior of the superconducting critical current in thin YBa2Cu3O7-d films on vicinal SrTiO3 surfaces

C. Cantoni, D. T. Verebelyi, E. D. Specht +2

The critical current density of epitaxial YBCO films grown on vicinal SrTiO3 substrates was investigated by electrical transport measurements along and across the steps of the SrTi…
