Abstract
We investigated additional pinning effect on in-field Jc properties of coated conductors including Y2O3 nano-particles as artificial pinning centers (APCs), where three types of heavy-ion beams were employed with the fluence of 4.84 × 1010 to 7.26 × 1011 ions/cm2. The addition of the irradiation defects enhanced the in-field Jc. Furthermore, more upward shift in the Jc was observed for the introduction of the defects with larger volume of the irradiation damage, not only in high magnetic fields but also in low magnetic fields. One factor of the irradiation effect is that the self-field Jc and the critical temperature Tc are relatively insensitive to the addition of the irradiation defects for the samples with APCs. Another is the glassy flux creep behavior over wide temperature region, suggesting that flux pinning by the combination of APCs and irradiation defects is strong against thermal fluctuation.
