Abstract
Thin films of Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+delta have been grown on vicinal (001) SrTiO3 s ubstrates by pulsed-laser deposition. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM ) and X-ray diffraction reveal well ordered films with the c axis of the fi lm parallel with the c axis of the substrate for miscut angles up to Bs 15 degrees, TEM also reveals the step-like film morphology due to step-flow gr owth. The in-plane and out-of-plane resistivities are independent of film t hickness within the range 20-300 nm and agree quite well with Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 +delta single-crystal data.
