Abstract
We have generated an almost periodic step structure of c-axis-oriented YBa2Cu3O7-delta films grown on 10 degrees miscut SrTiO3(001) substrat es. Combined scanning tunneling microscopy and cross-sectional transmi ssion electron microscopy studies reveal that this growth morphology i s linked to an anisotropic defect microstructure. We present evidence that translational boundaries contribute to strong flux pinning in our films. The resistivity and critical current density in the miscut-gro wn YBa2Cu3O7-delta films have been found to be anisotropic. Copyright (C) 1996 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd
