Abstract

We prepared the superconducting Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O thin films on Y3Al5O12 (YAG) single crystal substrates by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). This film of 50 nm thickness on a YAG substrate showed c-axis orientation clearly, and the zero-resistivity (Tc-zero) was achieved at 66 K. The film has the advantageous property of surface smoothness compared with the film fabricated on MgO and SrTiO3 single-crystal substrates. The surface property of the YAG substrate seems to influence the film quality.
