Abstract

Abstract: We have prepared (010) (or (100)) oriented Bi2 Sr2 CaCu2 O8+ x (Bi2212) thin films by metal-organic decomposition (MOD) method which is one kind of solution method. The flat and vicinal (100) substrate (the miscut angle φ = 5° toward the direction [001]) of NdGaO3 (NGO) was used. When using vicinal substrates, the Bi2212 (020) (or (200)) peak appeared clearly in the XRD patterns. From the SEM image, it was found that elongated plate-like crystal grains of Bi2212 were grown. From the viewpoint of lattice matching, this elongated crystal grain is considered to be (010) (or (100)) oriented Bi2212 crystal grains.
