| Popis: | Co-evaporated SmBa 2 Cu 3 O y thin films were investigated by means of Scanning Tunnelling Microscopy (STM), x-ray diffraction and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). All films were predominantly oriented with their c -axis perpendicular ( c ⊥) to the substrate, with small fractions of c // grains. Although certain films seem to display a full coverage with c // material when imaged by STM, our study does not support the existence of a critical thickness at which c ⊥ growth switches to c // growth. Furthermore, it was found that the volume fraction of c // to c ⊥ material increases with increasing supersaturation, indicating that kinetic factors are important to understand the nucleation and growth of c // grains. |
