REBCO-coated conductors are used for various power applications. For the practical use of REBCO, it is necessary to enhance the critical current density (
Jc) in magnetic fields. In addition, improving the
Jc anisotropy is an important issue. In this study, in order to improve
Jc anisotropy, we fabricated GdBCO films incorporating a hybrid APC combined with BHO nanorods in BHO layers. From transmission electron microscopic images, we found that BHO formed nanorods along the
c-axis and non-superconducting layers parallel to the
ab-plane. From the magnetic field angular dependences of
Jc, we found that the films exhibited two
Jc peaks for
B//
c and
B//
ab, and the
Jcmin showed 0.8 MA/cm
2 in 1 T. This value is higher than that of a film in which only nanorods are introduced. We believe that hybrid APC was effective for improving the
Jc anisotropy.
