Abstract

We have shown, within the Ginzburg-Landau theory, that the interaction between vortices and normal-metal layers in high-Tc superconductor–normal-metal superlattices can cause high critical-current densities jc. The interaction is primarily magnetic, except at very low temperatures T, where the core interaction is dominant. For a lattice of vortices commensurate with an array of normal-metal layers in a parallel magnetic field H, strong magnetic pinning is obtained, with a nonmonotonic critical-current dependence on H, and with jc of the order of 107–108 A/cm2.
