Abstract

Superconducting c-axis thin films of Bi2Sr2Ca2Cu3O10 (Bi-2223) were grown by MOCVD on (001) and (110) MgO substrates. Films on both substrates show, as revealed by AFM investigations, similar morphology composed of regular rectangular grains and relatively low roughness of about two or three half c-axis unit cell order. AFM images also suggest that films might have in-plane epitaxy. The films have zero resistance critical temperatures of 95.1K for the (001) MgO substrate and 75K for the (110) MgO substrate, respectively. Considering very large films-substrate lattice mismatch between (110) MgO and (ab)-plane of the superconducting phase the growth of indicated films is a surprise.
