Abstract
The critical current densities (J c) of MgB2 thin films deposited on alpha-Al2O3 fabricated with a precursor and post-annealing process have been investigated in high magnetic fields of up to 30 T. The H c2(0) estimated from the resistivity measurements was ~45 T. High J c values were obtained at 4.2 K in external magnetic fields applied parallel to the film surface. These values were comparable to that of Nb3Sn in fields up to 18 T and surpassed them in fields over 18 T. To reduce the number of droplets, the Eclipse PLD method was one of the most useful techniques.
