Oxygen controlled melt growth (OCMG) processed (Nd,Eu,Gd)Ba2Cu3Oy “NEG-123” doped with very small amount of nanometer sized particles like TiO3, MoO3 and Nb2O5 exhibited an improvement in pinning performance. As a result, a high critical current density (Jc) value of ~105 A/cm2 was achieved at 90.2 K. Technical applications of high Tc superconductors (HTS) also require the development of simple methods to produce with appropriate superconducting properties. We have studied and optimized the superconducting properties of doped REBa2Cu3Oy “RE123” thin film composites by nanoparticles based on a control of the growth conditions. In this study, we focus on (Nd0.33Eu0.33Gd0.33)Ba2Cu3Oy (NEG-123) + Gd2BaCuO5 (Gd-211), which has reported excellent critical current density (Jc) in the bulk form, and fabricated NEG-123 + Gd-211 thin film with high superconducting properties. NEG-123 + Gd-211 films have grown on STO (SrTiO3) substrate by PLD method. We shall discuss the optimization of growth of thin film on different heating temperature inside chamber in a very broad range of temperature from 700 to 900°C, the distance between target and substrate, and the O2 pressure inside the chamber. A broad spectrum of characterizations involving X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), magneto-resistance, magnetization and specific heat measurements have been undertaken on these films. All these thin films are characterized under exactly same conditions and our study shows that the grown film at 800°C has showed the transition temperature (Tc) of 93K as similar to that reported value for the polycrystalline sample. We will also demonstrate and discuss the effect of O2 gas annealing of thin film inside the furnace at different pressure and annealing time and will conclude the best conditions to grow the high quality thin film of NEG-123+Gd-211 with high superconducting properties
