ResumoFor applications of high-temperature cuprate superconductors in magnetic fields at 77 K, a RBa/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub x/ (R123; R=Nd, Sm, Gd, etc.) film is one of the promising materials due to its high critical temperature T/sub c/ and high irreversibility field B/sub irr/. Especially, a substitution between R and Ba sites that results in a T/sub c/ degradation is not likely to occur in GdBa/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub x/ (Gd123) films, compared to the cases of Nd and Sm ions. This is an advantage for an application of Gd123 film. We studied the c-axis oriented Gd123 film for obtaining a high critical current density J/sub c/ in a magnetic field at 77 K. The substrate temperature to deposit the epitaxial films on MgO(100) was varied between 700-800/spl deg/C under an oxygen partial pressure of 200 mTorr. T/sub c/ values of the films were within 89.8-92.7 K. Interestingly, the J/sub c/ at 77 K for 5 T (B//c) reached 0.2 MA/cm/sup 2/. The values are three times higher than those of Y123 films, which indicate that Gd123 films have the superior potentiality in magnetic fields at 77 K.
