Ultra-high critical current densities of superconducting YBa2Cu3O7-δ thin films in the overdoped state
Abstract The functional properties of cuprates are strongly determined by the doping state and carrier density. We present an oxygen doping study of YBa2Cu3O7-δ (YBCO) thin films from underdoped to overdoped state, correlating the measured charge carrier density, $${n}_{\mathrm{H}}$$ n H , the hole...
