Notes:
High-resolution triple-crystal x-ray scattering techniques have been used to study high-temperature superconducting thin films of Gd-Ba-Cu-O grown in situ by dc magnetron sputtering onto substrates of (001) LaAlO3 and SrTiO3. The measurements suggest that the thin films are single crystal. Evidence is found for both c- and a-axis-oriented films on the LaAlO3 samples. In particular, no strain is observed in the films except at the interface between films of different relative orientation. No low-temperature structural transitions are observed in the films.
