摘要

We report the superconducting properties of tensile-strained infinite-layer cuprate Sr1−xEuxCuO2+y thin films fabricated on KTaO3 substrates via molecular beam epitaxy. The doping-dependent superconducting phase diagram shows an optimal doping level of x $x\ \sim $ 0.184 and a broader dome shifting to higher doping range due to reduced intralayer hopping and enhanced interlayer magnetic coupling. The characteristic of two-dimensional superconductivity is observed by Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless transition and the angle-resolved magnetoresistance measurements. Moreover, the temperature-dependent upper critical field and thermally-activated vortex motion under the in-plane and out-of-plane magnetic fields exhibit strong anisotropy, which further reveal the anisotropic nature of the superconductivity in infinite-layer cuprates.
