Abstract

Multilayers of Y1Ba2Cu3O7-y/Y1Ba2(Cu1−xNix)3O7-ysuperconducting thin films have been grown epitaxially on (100) ZrO2 substrates using a pulsed laser deposition technique. The thickness of the Y1Ba2Cu3O7-y layer was varied from 60 Å to 900 Å and the thickness of the Y1Ba2(Cu1−xNix3O7-y layer was varied from 60 A to 100 A to determine the effect of the Ni-doped layers on the superconducting properties. Variations of critical current density were investigated as a function of temperature in magnetic fields up to 5 T. Magnetic field dependence of normalized critical current density, Jc(H)/Jc(O), is improved by the growth of Ni-doped multilayer structures, possibly due to an increase in flux pinning force.
