Epitaxial growth of textured YBa2Cu3O7-delta films on silver
YBa2Cu3O7-delta (YBCO) films were deposited on (100), (110) and (111) oriented silver single crystals and {100}< 100 >, {110}< 211 >, {110}< 100 >+{110}< 011 >, {110}< 011 > and {012}< 100 > textured Ag substrates using pulsed laser deposition. The relationship between the epitaxial growth YBCO film and silver substrate has been determined. It is shown that among polycrystalline Ag substrates, {110}< 011 > textured tape is suitable for the deposition of YBCO thin films having strong texture.
