Times Cited Count:9 Percentile:40.11(Engineering, Electrical & Electronic)We investigated in detail the flux pinning properties around B
for GdBCO coated conductors with crossed columnar defects produced by heavy-ion irradiation, where the crossing angle was systematically controlled in the range from 5 to 15 relative to the ab-plane. A single peak of critical current density
centered at B
occurs for the crossing angle of 5, where an upward shift in
can be observed compared to an unirradiated sample. As the crossing angle is larger, the
peak becomes smaller and broader while maintaining the peak at B
. Three
peaks emerges at B
and at the two irradiation angles, independently from the others.

film with inclined columnar defects. The contribution of correlated pinning on 
decreased drastically with decreasing temperature under high magnetic fields above the matching field. At low temperatures, the presence of a matching field limited the pinning force for correlated pinning, while the ratio of the maximum pinning force of the correlated pinning to the random one was proportional to the inverse of B
. In order to improve the critical current properties at low temperatures under high magnetic fields, an increase in the matching field and/or the introduction of strong random pinning are effective.
