St. Li et al., STEP-LIKE GROWTH OF BI2SR2CACU2O8 FILMS ON OFF-AXIS ORIENTED (001)SRTIO3, Applied physics A: Materials science & processing, 63(5), 1996, pp. 427-429
High-quality Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 (BSCCO) films were grown by means of pulsed
-laser deposition on 10 degrees off-axis oriented (001) SrTiO3 substra
tes. The films exhibit a step-like morphology and they are properly or
iented along the (001) direction. Their normal-state resistivity measu
red along the tilt (off-axis (100) direction of the substrate) was, ty
pically, 260 times higher than that along the (010) direction. Such fi
lms reveal a transverse Seebeck-effect which significantly exceeds tha
t observed with YBa2Cu3O7 (YBCO).
