Abstract
Normal flux density gradient along the film plane in TmBa2Cu3O7-x superconducting thin films have been measured by a magneto-optical method using magnetic garnet films covering the superconducting sample as a sensor of magnetic field. Critical current density Jc was determined by means of standard four-probe technique for the same samples. A comparison between Jc and the value of the normal flux density gradient suggests that the critical current is sustained primarily by the normal gradient in the in-plane component of flux density. It means that a conventional analysis ignoring the flux-line curvature can not be aplied to the superconducting thin films.
