Abstract

Growth behavior of thin films of YBa₂Cu₃O_7−δ and NdBa₂Cu₃O_7−δ has been observed in reflection high‐energy electron diffraction (RHEED) during coevaporation of constituent metal atoms with a NO₂ supersonic molecular beam. The intensity oscillations of RHEED specular beam have been observed during deposition. The nucleation behavior of NdBa₂Cu₃O_7−δ is found to be different from that of YBa₂Cu₃O_7−δ in RHEED observation.
