Abstract
We investigated the formation process, oricntation of grains and surface morphology of CeO2 films on Al2O3 substrates, and YBCO films on CeO2/Al2O3 substrates. CeO2 films were prepared by electron beam deposition and MOCVD methods. It was found from X-ray analysis that orientation of grains of CeO2 films was affected by substrate temperature, Ts, and deposition rate, Rd. (100) plane oriented films were prepared as following conditions, Ts-650°C, Td-4A/s, YBCO films on CeO2/Al2O3 substrates were prepared by MOCVD. It was found from X-ray pole figure measurement that the configuration of the crystal axes of YBCO, CeO2 and Al2O3 was as follows; YBCO<110>//CeO2<100>//Al2O3<-110>. Surface morphology of CeO2 and YBCO films was observcd by Atomic Force Microscope (AFM). It was found that CeO2 films were smooth surface containing of small projection, andYBCO films were columnar structure which size was about 0.5μm. Tc of these films were about 80K.
