H. Rodriguez et A. Marino, Relation between pinning potential and critical current density of BSCCO superconducting thin films, REV MEX FIS, 44, 1998, pp. 196-198
We have studied the relation between critical current density and pinning p
otential in weak magnetic fields on highly oriented superconducting BSCCO f
ilms, produced by sputtering. From the I-V characteristics we obtained the
pinning potential U using the Aux creep theory. An increase of U upon incre
asing J(c) was observed and analysed using the pinning of isolated vortex m
odel.
