Abstract
The structural and transport properties of thin films of the insulating perovskite PrBa/sub 2/Cu/sub 3-y/Nb/sub y/O/sub 7-z/ (PrBCNO for y=1) were characterized. This material is a promising candidate for applications requiring high-quality epitaxial insulating layers in YBa/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub 7-y/ thin-film circuits: PrBCNO is nearly tetragonal with <2% lattice mismatch to YBCO, thus allowing the possibility of epitaxial multilayer growth. PrBCNO single films and PrBCNO-YBCO multilayers have been grown using pulsed-laser deposition: growth conditions typical for YBCO result in highly c-axis-oriented PrBCNO films and multilayers on a variety of
