High-quality epitaxial CeO2 thin films were fabricated on the biaxially textured Ni substrates by pulsed laser deposition using a gas mixture of 4%H2 and 96%Ar. X-ray diffraction θ—θ scan and ω-scan indicate the CeO2 thin films are c-axis textured, and φ-scan and pole figure of the films reveal the presence of good in-plane texture. The biaxially textured CeO2 films provide a good template for the fabrication of YBCO conductors.
