Abstract

The thin films of YBa2Cu3O7-y, prepared by chemical solution deposition on SrTiO3(100) and LaAlO3(100) substrates, have been characterized by cross-sectional high-resolution electron microscopy. It is found that the c-axis Y123 thin films, thickness range from 10nm to 60nm, were epitaxially grown on the substrates and the a-axis island-shaped grains generated from the c-axis film. The derived c-axis and a-axis films are defective with stacking faults to form a defect microstructure rather than forming the well-ordered YBa2Cu4O8(Y124) phase.
