(Hg0.8Re0.2)Ba2Ca2CU3Ox, superconducting films of 1-80 mu m thickness have been prepared on MgO(100) substrates using spraying process and post-Hg-vapor annealing. The effects of thickness on the grain alignment and J(c) properties have been investigated. The best T-c and T-zero were found to be 131.9 K and 129 K respectively, for 50 mu m thick sample. Magnetic properties up to 6 T have been investigated. The calculated critical current density, J(cmag), was found to be 4.8 x 10(5) A cm(-2) at 4.2 K for 50 mu m thick sample. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V.
