Introduction of artificial pinning centers such as BaZrO3 (BZO), BaSnO3 (BSO), BaHfO3 (BHO) nano-rods is effective to improve in-field critical currents (I-c). In particular, the BHO doping into Gd1Ba2Cu3O7-delta had been found to exhibit high in-field I-c under wide ranges of temperatures and magnetic fields. Furthermore, a long coated conductor (CC) with high in-field properties and high uniformity was successfully fabricated by means of BHO doping. However, increase of the I-c values exhibited somewhat in a saturated manner with thickening the superconducting films above 3 mu m. In this work, a new combination of Eu1Ba2Cu3O7-delta (EuBCO) + BHO system was investigated using the IBAD/PLD process to improve in-field performance especially in thick films. As a result, it was found that a EuBCO + BHO film with 3.6 mu m in thickness showed extremely high property of 141 A/cm-w measured at 77K, 3 T. This high in-field I-c value was tentatively explained due to suppression of a-axis oriented grains even in thick films. A 200 m long EuBCO + BHO CC with 55.5 A/cm-w and a 93.7 m long CC with 108 A/cm-w measured at 77K, 3T were successfully fabricated. (c) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
