We study angular dependent magnetoresistance in the vortex-liquid phase of epitaxial YBa2Cu3O7 thin films and YBa_2Cu_3O_7/PrBa_2Cu_3O_7 superlattices. Superlattices were grown with different PrBa_2Cu_3O_7 thickness in order to tune coupling between YBa_2Cu_3O_7 layers. While dissipation of single film and coupled superlattices is scaled with the anisotropic three-dimensional model in the whole angular range, decoupling through PrBa_2Cu_3O_7 spacer breaks down the scaling and yields strong reduction of the dissipation when the magnetic fields are applied up to ±20degrees around the interface direction. Bean-Livingston barriers at the interface are the mechanism which governs this behavior. 2023-06-20T12:39:22Z 2023-06-20T12:39:22Z 2004-04 journal article 1098-0121 10.1103/PhysRevB.69.134505 https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/52082 http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevB.69.134505 https://journals.aps.org eng MAT2002-4543 MAT2000-1468 07N/0008/2001 open access American Physical Society
