Magnetic properties of thin films

A robust process is presented to produce a long length multiphase substrate comprising a large number of mutually aligned seed crystals. These seed crystals are thought to evoke a biaxial texture in a superconducting layer being prepared by a melt-texture process on these substrates. Details of the multiphase-substrate manufacture are presented, the resulting microstructures are discussed and future directions of development are highlighted.
