Abstract

High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HREM) has been used to study the microstructures of Y-Ba-Cu-0 superconducting thin films in which the YBa2Cu4O8 phase was the main phase. From cross-sectional observations, the c-normal 123 phase predominated in the film near the substrate surface, while the c-normal 124 phase occupied the region near the film surface. Another remarkable microstructure was that a-normal 123 variants overcame the c-normal 123 region, but the c-normal 124 phase surpassed the a-normal 123 phase in the upper part of the film.
