Abstract
High quality, thick YBa<sub>2</sub>Cu<sub>3</sub>O<sub>7-��</sub> (YBCO) films with splayed self-assembly of BaZrO<sub>3</sub> insulating nanodot columns were epitaxially grown on short pieces of technically important textured metallic templates, ion-beam-assisted deposition (IBAD) MgO substrates by pulsed laser deposition. Variations in superconducting and microstructual properties are observed in the samples grown at different substrate temperatures of 790-810oC. At optimized substrate temperature ranges of 790 and 800oC, the samples were measured to have large self-field I<sub>c</sub> of 670-787 A/cm at 77 K and minimum Ic of 353-392 A/cm with respect to all angles at 65 K, 3 T respectively.
