AbstractThe surface morphology of Yba2Cu3O7 thin films formed on (001)-oriented LaAlO3 substrates by pulsed-laser deposition has been examined using electron and scanning probe microscopies. The observed surface features can be divided into two types: particles formed as a result of material (often molten) ejected from the target and outgrowths formed as a result of nucleation and growth processes on the substrate and/or the film surface. Where both types of surface feature occur on a particular film the outgrowths are always more numerous. The density of outgrowths is strongly related to the deposition parameters and, as a consequence, with the film growth mechanism.
