High quality biepitaxial YBCO superconducting thin films with 45 degre
es artificial grain boundary have been fabricated on SITiO3(STO) subst
rate by magnetron sputtering. The formation of multilayer structure an
d epitaxial oriented relationships of every layer film were demonstrat
ed by TEM, theta similar to 2 theta scan, Phi scan and omega -scan (ro
cking curve). The I-V characteristic of the biepitaxial YBCO grain bou
ndary Junction consists with the RSJ model and the distinct shapiro st
eps can be observed.
