High quality Tl-2212 films can be readily grown on LaAlO substrates, but the design of complex microwave devices in these films is made more difficult by the twinning of the substrate. CeO buffer layers on sapphire have been demonstrated to offer excellent substrates for Tl-2212 films (1). We have been exploring alternative architectures for buffer layers on MgO and sapphire. Epitaxial Tl-2212 superconducting thin films have been success- fully grown on Gd O -buffered MgO substrates by sputter deposi- tion of a Tl-free precursor followed by an ex-situ thalliation anneal. The Tl-2212 films were aligned with the -axis normal to the film surface, and also had excellent in-plane orientation with Tl-2212 aligned with the Gd O and MgO . The critical tem- peratures of the films ranged from 100-103 K and transport and inductive critical current densities of 7.5 10 A/cm at 77 K have been achieved. We have also fabricated epitaxial GdAlO buffer layers on sapphire substrates which support epitaxial growth of Tl-2212 but with relatively poor microstructure. High quality films have been prepared on the new La,Sr Al,Ta O (LSAT) sub- strates.
