Abstract:
In this study, for the first time, we present a systematic study of the critical current density JcJc at two magnetic field orientations B∥abB∥ab and B∥cB∥c in a single crystal of the superconducting pnictide EuCsFe44As44, which shows a magnetic ordering below TcTc and belongs to the 1144 family. The anisotropy of JcJc and its temperature dependence are determined. The exponents αα of the Jc(B)Jc(B) dependences from 0.1 to 1 T are in a good agreement with the theoretical predictions for strong Abrikosov vortex pinning, which is also confirmed by the values of the pinning strength estimated using the Dew-Hughes model.
