YBa2Cu3O7−x (YBCO) films with nanoparticles of BaSnO3 (BSO) were processed using pulsed laser ablation of a special target made with dual phase sectors of YBCO and BSO. Transport critical current density (Jct) of these YBCO+BSO films in applied magnetic fields and angular dependence of Jct on the applied field orientation was measured. It was observed that in the YBCO+BSO films, the Jct (H‖c orientation) increased considerably as compared to regular YBCO films and was 1.3 times higher than Jct in H‖ab orientation. Cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy images on YBCO+BSO films showed the presence of high density (3.5×1011cm−2) of nanoparticles (∼10nm size) and nanocolumns that extended throughout the thickness of the films with high density of dislocations and stacking faults (1000μm−2). The observed results of enhancements in Jct in H‖c and Jct in H‖ab orientations were discussed in the light of the observed microstructural details.
