Abstract

The surface morphology is studied by use of optical and electron microscopes with respect to production regime (rate and temperature of crystallization) of the 50 - 125 micrometer thick doped YBa2Cu 3O7 films obtained by Stokes sedimentation on SrTiO 3 ceramic substrate (size 20 mm by 5 mm by 0.5 mm) and firing in air or oxygen following the MTG procedure, performed in the gradient tube furnace. Evolution of thick film structure with regard to temperature and cooling rate is studied.
