Investigators observe large critical currents for superconducting thin films deposited epitaxially on single crystal substrates. The orientation of these films is often characterized by specifying the unit cell axis that is perpendicular to the substrate. This omits specifying the orientation of the other unit cell axes and grain boundary angles between grains of the thin film. Misorientation between grains of YBa2Cu3O7−δ decreases the critical current, even in those films that are c axis oriented. We presume that these results are similar for bismuth based superconductors and report the epitaxial orientations and textures observed in such films.Thin films of nominally Bi2Sr2CaCu2Ox were deposited on MgO using molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). These films were in situ grown (during growth oxygen was incorporated and the films were not oxygen post-annealed) and shuttering was used to encourage c axis growth. Other papers report the details of the synthesis procedure. The films were characterized using x-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).

ABSTRACTNitridation of Cu-Cr alloy films under an NH3 ambient was studied using in situ transmission electron Microscopy. Cu-Cr thin films (40–100 nm) were deposited on a single crystal NaCl substrate by electron beam coevaporation, and were heat treated up to 750°C at 2.5–3.0 Torr NH3. The films were also vacuum (10-6 Torr) annealed under the same conditions for comparison. Initial observation of Cu and Cr crystallization occurred at 470°C for both environmental conditions. The nitridation process of Cr to form CrN was observed initially at 580°C and was followed by evolution of faceted Cu grain growth in the CrN Matrix.

ABSTRACTThe growth of the epitaxial silicides NiSi2 and CoSi2 on Si is discussed from observations made by in-situ transmission electron microscopy. In particular, we observe the occurrence of epitaxial metastable phases which arise from the dominance of interface energy in extremely thin films. Such phases relate to the thickness dependence of the microstructure in these silicides and may be expected to occur in many binary and more complex thin film systems.
