Abstract

A twin-free substrate material, CaYAlO4, was synthesized and used for the epitaxial growth of single crystal YBa2CU3O7-delta and Tl2Ba2CaCU2O8 thin films for the first time. The lattice parameters of ttus new substrate are a = b = 3.648 angstrom and c= 11.89 angstrom. The dielectric properties, similar to those of LaAlO3, are 20(dielectric constant) and 4 x 10(-5) (loss tangent) at 5 GHz and 77 K. Initial attempts at film growth on this substrate indicate degradation of both superconducting and microwave properties possibly due to interdiffusion.
