The conducting oxysalt Ag(Ag3O4)2NO3 has been electrodeposited onto highly oriented conducting oxides of Tl2 03 and Pb0.8Tl0.2O1.9. T12O3 was grown in a [100] texture while the Pb0.8Tl0.2O1.9 was grown with two different thickness-dependent textures of [110] and [210]. The orientation of the Ag(Ag3O4)2NO3 crystals with respect to the substrate surface was determined by x-ray diffraction. The face-centered-cubic Ag(Ag3O4)2N03 crystals deposited on body-centered-cubic T12 03 and face-centered-cubic Pb0.8Tl0.2O1.9 followed the orientation of these prelayers. However, Ag(Ag3O4)2N03 which was electrodeposited onto polycrystalline 430 stainless steel had a nearly random orientation. The lattice mismatch is 6.6% between T12 03 and Ag(Ag3O4)2N03, and it is 7.8% between Ag(Ag3O4)2N03 and the doubled unit cell of Pb0.8Tl0.2Ol.9.
