“…7 Therefore, c-axisoriented and well ab-aligned NdBCO lm possesses highranking superconducting properties. As a matter of fact, caxis-oriented epitaxial growth of NdBCO lms has been studied under the cases of various fabrication techniques, including metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), 8,9 pulsed laser deposition (PLD), 10,11 magnetron sputtering. [12][13][14] These studies supposed that the deposition temperature (T dep ) was the key factor affecting the growth orientation, and as the lm thickness increased, the strain relaxation in the lm would also have a certain effect on the growth orientation.…”
