Abstract

Superconducting LaFeAsO1−xFx thin films were grown on single crystalline LaAlO3 substrates with critical temperatures (onset) up to 28 K. Resistive measurements in high magnetic fields up to 40 T reveal a paramagnetically limited upper critical field μ0Hc2(0) around 77 T and a remarkable steep slope of −6.2 T K−1 near Tc. From transport measurements we observed weak-link behavior in low magnetic fields and evidence for a broad reversible regime.
