Angular dependence of critical current density of SmBCO coated conductor fabricated by co-evaporation method was investigated. For comparison, three samples were fabricated by a co-evaporation method and one sample was fabricated by a pulsed laser deposition process. The deposition system, named EDDC (Evaporation using Drum in Dual Chambers), is a batch type co-evaporation system, which is composed of reaction chamber and evaporation chamber. The normalized critical current density ratio ($I_c/I_c$(H//ab-plane)) of EDDC-SmBCO samples was found to be higher than that of PLD-YBCO sample in the whole range of angle. While the EDDC-SmBCO samples evidently had a peak at the angle of H//c-axis in the plot of the angular dependence of critical current, the normalized critical current of PLD-YBCO sample decreased monotonically without any peak as angle increased. The field dependence of critical current under the magnetic field parallel to the normal direction of those samples showed similar aspect in the range of $0\;G{\sim}5000\;G$.

[ $MgB_2$ ] films grown by hybrid physical chemical vapor deposition under appropriate growth conditions commonly exhibit columnar grain structure. The grain boundaries between adjacent columnar grains have been reported to be good flux pinning centers. In this work, we measured the angular dependence of critical current density ($J_c$) and observed the enhanced flux pinning when an external magnetic field was aligned parallel to the columnar direction. This $J_c$ was almost comparable to the $J_c$ for intrinsic pinning case up to 1 T at low temperatures, indicating that grain boundary pinning is very effective. At high fields, however, $J_c$ decreased rapidly resulting from the fact that the density of flux pinning centers provided by grain boundaries was outnumbered by the flux density.
