Abstract

The thin films (Y/Ba/Cu = 1.0/2.7/4.7) which have a strong intensity corresponding to the c-axis peaks of the 124 phase (YBa2Cu4O8) in x-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns were prepared. The film structure and surface morphology of these films were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive x-ray (EDX), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and atomic force microscopy (AFM). It was found that the film on MgO(100) clearly has grain boundaries with many a-axis oriented grains of the 123 phase (YBa2Cu3O7−x). However, the film on SrTiO3(100) had a smooth surface, and a-axis oriented grains of the 123 phase couldn't be observed. This difference could not be explained by only the difference in the lattice mismatch.
