We investigated the combined effect of flux pinning by three-directional columnar defects (CDs) in a wide field-angular range of YBa $_{2}$ Cu $_{3}$ Oy thin films, where CDs parallel to the -axis and CDs crossing at (=45 $^{circ}$ , 60 $^{circ}$ and 80 $^{circ}$ ) relative to the c-axis were installed by 200 MeV Xe-ion irradiations. The three-directional CDs with 60 $^{circ}$ form a field angular curve of critical current density Jc with a broad peak centered at magnetic field (B) parallel to the -axis, whereas the Jc shows no peaks around the crossing angles of . When the crossing angle is expanded to =80 $^{circ}$ , a drastic change in the field- angular behavior of Jc is induced: there is not a large enhancement of $J_{rm c}$ around B//c. We also demonstrated that the combined configuration consisting of CDs at = 0 $^{circ}$ , 45 $^{circ}$ , 60 $^{circ}$ and 80 $^{circ}$ provides a uniform enhancement of $J_{rm c}$ over a wide angular-region.

We show that Xe ion irradiation with 80 MeV to GdBa $_{2}$ Cu $_{3}$ Oy-coated conductors creates different morphologies of columnar defects (CDs) depending on the irradiation angles relative to the c-axis: continuous CDs with a larger diameter are formed for oblique irradiation at $theta_{rm i}$ = 45 $^{circ}$ , whereas the same ion beam at a different angle ( $theta_{rm i}$ = 0 $^{circ}$ ) induces the formation of discontinuous CDs. The direction-dependent morphologies of CDs significantly affect the angular behavior of the critical current density $J_{rm c}$ .

In order to clarify the influence of size and spatial distribution of three-dimensional pinning centers (3D-PCs) on hybrid flux pinning, columnar defects (CDs) were installed by using 200 MeV Xe ions along the -axis direction into quasi-multilayered films consisting of YBa $_{2}$ Cu $_{3}$ Oy layers and pseudo layers of BaSnO $_{3}$ . The positive effect of the BaSnO $_{3}$ doping on the hybrid flux pinning stands out for the critical current density $J_{rm c}$ around in high magnetic field and/or inclined magnetic field off the -axis, whereas there is little difference in the $J_{rm c}$ at among the same growth temperature samples for low magnetic field. In the case of the in-plane distributed BaSnO $_{3}$ nano-dots, the Jc around is remarkably enhanced, whereas there is a detrimental effect on the Jc around . These imply that the tuning of 3D-PCs is one of the keys to improve the $J_{rm c}$ at all magnetic field orientations for the hybrid flux pinning.

A systematic investigation of flux pinning by widely direction-dispersed columnar defects (CDs) in YBa $_{2}$ Cu $_{3}$ Oy thin films was carried out by using heavy-ion irradiation: a parallel configuration of CDs aligned along the -axis, and two trimodal splay configurations composed of crossing CDs; relative to the -axis, where the splay plane defined by the three irradiation angles is perpendicular (trimodal-A) or parallel (trimodal-B) to the transport current direction. The trimodal configurations show high pinning efficiency over a wide range of magnetic field orientations compared to the parallel one at low magnetic field. In particular, trimodal-B shows the higher critical current density of the two trimodal configurations.

In order to reveal the influence of crossing angle of one-dimensional pinning centers on angular dependence of critical current density Jc, heavy-ion irradiation was performed to introduce columnar defects (CDs) crossing relative to the c-axis into GdBCO coated conductors, where the splay plane consisting of the two directions of CDs is parallel to the current flow direction. For the sample containing CDs with 15 $^{circ}$ , a single and sharp peak was observed around Bc in the angular dependence of Jc. When the crossing angle was extended to 45 $^{circ}$ , the single Jc-peak became broader, which was a gently-sloping mountain-like shape centered at Bc. For 75 $^{circ}$ , on the other hand, a quite different behaviour of Jc from the other irradiated samples was observed, which was analogous to the angular dependence of Jc typical of three dimensional pinning centers.

To investigate the effect of discontinuity of 1-D pinning centers on the flux pinning in a wide range of magnetic field directions, discontinuous columnar defects (CDs) and continuous CDs were formed in GdBCO coated conductors using Xe-ion irradiations with 80 and 270 MeV, respectively. An overall shift upward in Jc, for the 80-MeV-irradiated sample compared to the 270-MeV-irradiated one, can be observed in every direction of magnetic field, which is more remarkable as temperature decreases. This implies a synergetic effect of the pinning interaction between the linearity and the discontinuity for the discontinuous CDs.

BaZrO $_{3}$ /YBa $_{2}$ Cu $_{3}$ Oy quasi-multilayered films, in which the size and the spatial distribution of BaZrO $_{3}$ nano-particles were controlled, were irradiated using 200 MeV Xe ions along the c-axis direction. Whenthe BaZrO $_{3}$ nano-particles were larger in size, the flux lines not captured by CDs, such as interstitial fluxlines between CDs and double kinks of flux lines, can be pinned more effectively by the BaZrO $_{3}$ nano-particles, so that the Jc enhances for high magnetic fields and high temperature. In addition, the inverse correlation between Jc and n-value appears at high temperature in increasing magnetic field for the film with correlated rows of the nano-particles which might be curved off the c-axis. These suggest that the hybrid flux pinning depends not only on the combination of one-dimensional (1D) and three-dimensional pinning centers (3D-PCs) but also on the size and the spatial distribution of the 3D-PCs.

To investigate whether one dimensional pinning centers (1D PCs) can attain the isotropic critical current density ( $J_{c}$ ) properties, columnar defects (CDs) crossing at widespread angles were installed by heavy-ion irradiations into YBCO thin films. For the sample containing the CDs crossing relative to the -axis, the plateau-like behavior of $_{c}$ is realized over a wide range of magnetic field orientations, except for around B -plane where a dip structure is accompanied by a rapid decline of the $J_{c}$ . For the bimodal splay configuration consisting of CDs crossing relative to the -axis, a single peak around the -axis is observed in the angular dependence of $J_{c}$ , suggesting the splay effect at B -axis by the crossed CDs. Two parallel families of CDs crossing relative to the -plane, on the other hand, bring about not a peak but a dip around B -plane on the angular dependence of $J_{c}$ .
