Jc(H) for films of several Fe-based superconductors. Multiple datasets for the same compound are included in case of significant performance differences in different field ranges. Most of the data are reported at 4-4.2 K. Data at higher temperatures (6-10 K) are included only if showing better performance than the 4.2 K data in part of the field range (Chiara Tarantini compiled the data and generated the graph).
