Abstract

Microstructural evolution with the change in thickness of superconducting YBa2Cu3O7-x films on single-crystal SrTiO 3 substrates deposited by pulsed laser deposition was evaluated using different structural characterization tools. A noticeable degradation of crystallinity with the increased film thickness was detected. Nevertheless, a comprehensive relationship between the microstructure and the zero-field current-density can not be established solely based on the degradation of crystallinity.
