Description

Properties of YBa2Cu3Ox (YBCO) thin films deposited on Nd1/3Eu1/3Gd1/3Ba2Cu3Ox (NEG) sublayers with a nano-undulated surface morphology were investigated. We found a strong influence of the NEG sublayer on the microstructure and superconducting properties of such YBCO films. The correlation between microstructural features and superconducting properties is discussed
