Abstract
Study of liquid phase epitaxy (LPE) process has been developed. The LPE gro wth is affected by the seed film quality. To investigate the influence of t he seed film quality on the LPE growth, we prepared several different kinds of seed films by pulsed laser deposition method, and dipped those samples into MgO-saturated Ba-Cu-O solution. It was found that the larger grain siz e and the in-plane alignment of seed crystals were desirable. In addition, the partially MgO substituted Y123 seed films improved the reproducibility of the LPE growth from MgO-saturated solution. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B. V. All rights reserved.
