Angular dependence of the high-frequency vortex response in YBa2Cu3O7−x thin film with self-assembled BaZrO3 nanorods

► We measure the microwave vortex motion resistivity in YBCO thin films containing BZO nanorods. ► We study the angular dependence of the flux-flow resistivity and of the pinning constant. ► We find that the angular flux-flow resistivity depends only on the intrinsic Hc2 anisotropy. ► The pinning constant shows the effects of preferred directions for pinning, ascribed to BZO nanorods.
