The evolution of surface structure, grain microstructure, and superconducting transition temperature of a-axis YBa2Cu3O7 thin films has been studied as a function of film thickness. The grain size increases and develops a bimodal distribution of grain size during film growth, concurrent with an improvement in Tc. The surface structure does not represent the grain size, but rather the development of the bimodal grain structure follows the formation of the surface structure. The results are discussed in terms of thin film growth modes.

ABSTRACTA review of the experimental and theoretical results describing thin film growth modes is presented. Thermodynamic criteria for determining which growth mode might be expected to occur in a particular case along with some kinetic considerations are given. The characteristics of each of the three principal growth modes, namely Frank and van der Merwe (layer), Stranski-Krastanov (layer plus island), and Volmer-Weber (island), are discussed. Lastly, the requirements favoring the growth of epitaxial multilayers are briefly considered.

An understanding of the thin film growth modes of substrate-induced polymorphs allows a deeper insight into the origin of this class of materials.
