F. Ahmed et al., MORPHOLOGY OF BI2201 THIN-FILMS FABRICATED ON THE THERMAL AND CHEMICAL TREATED MGO(100), Physica. C, Superconductivity, 282, 1997, pp. 629-630
The Bi2201 thin films have been fabricated by the ion beam sputtering
method on the various thermal annealed and chemically etched MgO(100)
substrates. The surface morphology before and Rn;er deposition are exa
mined by AFM and RHEED. Although surface morphology of MgO(100) is sig
nificantly improved, that of the Bi2201 thin film fabricated is deteri
orated.
