The voltage V versus current I of a high-quality YBa2Cu3O7−x thin film with zero-resistance temperature equal to 90.8 K was measured at temperatures near Tc (85, 87, and 90 K, respectively) under different magnetic fields (0–7 T). A significant result is that the critical-current density of the film reached 1.37×104 A/cm2 (zero field) even at 90 K, implying that strong pinning centers exist in our sample. However, a small applied magnetic field will diminish the critical-current densities remarkably. The pinning-force densities are found to follow Kramer's scaling law in both perpendicular and parallel directions of the magnetic fields to the c axis of the film. A possible influence of thermally activated flux creep on the pinning mechanism is confirmed.
