Abstract

-Heteroepitaxial superconducting Bi,Sr2CaCu2Ox (BSCCO 2212) thin films have been formed by solid phase epitaxy from amorphous films deposited on (100) LaA1O3 single crystal substrates by organometallic chemical vapor deposition. The epitaxial structure of the film is confirmed by x-ray diffraction including θ/2θ and Φ (in plane rotation) scans. Cross-sectional high resolution transmission electron microscopy indicates that the film-substrate interface is nearly atomically abrupt. Improvements in superconducting properties of the epitaxial thin films are noted in comparison to highly textured films deposited on MgO.
