Popis: Using atomic force microscopy and transmission electron microscopy, we examined the surface morphology of Bi-2223 superconducting thin films grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition, which is closely related to the growth mechanism of Bi-2223 films. As a result, we found an anisotropic in-plane growth. The growth rate along the a-axis is larger than that along the b-axis. Finally, we report on the fabrication of c-axis oriented Bi-2223 films with a roughness less than half a unit cell.
