The role of a layered structure in superconducting pinning properties is still at a debate. The effects of the vortex shape, which can assume for example a staircase form, could influence the interplay with extrinsic pinning coming from the specific defects of the material, thus inducing an effective magnetic field dependence. To enlighten this role, we analysed the angular dependence of flux pinning energy U(H,θ) as a function of magnetic field in FeSe0.5Te0.5 thin film by considering the field components along the ab-plane of the crystal structure and the c-axis direction. U(H,θ) has been evaluated from magneto-resistivity measurements acquired at different orientations between the applied field up to 16 T and FeSe0.5Te0.5 thin films grown on a CaF2 substrate. We observed that the U(H,θ) shows an anisotropic trend as a function of both the intensity and the direction of the applied field. Such a behaviour can be correlated to the presence of extended defects elongated in the ab-planes, thus mimicking a layered superconductor, as we observed in the microstructure of the compound. The comparison of FeSe0.5Te0.5 with other superconducting materials provides a more general understanding on the flux pinning energy in layered superconductors.

The distribution of flux pinning energy in melt-textured growth (MTG) YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7 superconductor irradiated by fast neutrons was determined by rotating-sample magnetic measurement at liquid nitrogen temperature. It was found that neutron irradiation strengthened flux pinning by increasing the most probable pinning energy along c-axis and in ab plane by 47% and 82% respectively. Anisotropy of flux pinning was also observed. New strong pinning sites might be created by neutron irradiation.
