Abstract
We have achieved considerable success in inducing order into the growth of YBa2Cu3O7 thin films on (100) oriented singlecrystal zirconia substrates. By applying heteroepitaxial growth techniques to the preparation of the substrate material we have been able to increase the amount of texturing in these films. X-ray diffraction studies show a three-fold decrease in the width of the rocking curves of the films after modification of the substrates. The films are oriented with the c axis perpendicular to the substrates.
