Abstract

We present a study of the (100) <100> biaxially texture Ni (001) surface and oxide seed layer nucleation by in situ reflection high-energy electron diffraction and Auger electron spectroscopy. Our observations revealed the existence of a c(2×2) superstructure on the textured Ni surface due to segregation of sulfur contained in the bulk metal. The sulfur superstructure promotes the epitaxial (002) nucleation of seed layers such as Y₂O₃-stabilized ZrO₂ (YSZ) and CeO₂ on the metal and optimizes the biaxial texture necessary for high J_c superconductors on RABiTS.
