Abstract

High-Tc superconducting epitaxial thin films of gadolinium barium copper oxide,grown in situ by dc-magnetron sputtering onto substrates of single crystal (001) orientated LaAIO3 , SrTiO3 and yttrium stabilisedZrO2 have been studied by high resolution double axis difffactometry, X-ray white beam-Laue topography and double crystal topography. Rocking curve halfwidths were found to vary from about 1000 to 3000 arc seconds, very good in thecontext of these complex materials. The topographs showed that the orientations of the small crystallites was randomly distributed across the sample.
