The purpose of this study was to improve the critical current density (Jc) of YBa2Cu3O7−δ(YBCO) superconducting films at high magnetic fields. Thin Y1−xYbxBa2Cu3O7−δ(Y1−xYbxBCO) superconducting films on LaAlO3substrates were prepared by modified low-fluorine metal organic deposition method (LF-MOD) in order to investigate the effect of Yb substitution on the microstructure and superconducting properties of a YBCO-coated conductor. In this study, single-phased,c-axial-aligned Y1−xYbxBCO films were obtained. Yb doping had a little effect on the critical temperature (Tc) and transition width (ΔT) values of Y1−xYbxBCO films. An abnormal phenomenon was observed that theJcof Y1−xYbxBCO films at low field was smaller than that of the pure YBCO film, but theJcof Y1−xYbxBCO films at high field was much greater than that of the undoped YBCO film. Compared to pure YBCO film, theJcvalues of Y0.75Yb0.25BCO and Y0.25Yb0.75BCO films were enhanced by a factor of 8 at 8 T, 65 K, which meant that chemical substitution of Yb into the Y site could improve flux pinning significantly under the high magnetic field in Y1−xYbxBCO coated conductors.
