Summary:In order to investigate the optimal conditions for highly oriented and epitaxial buffer layers on Ni based tapes, authors have grown several sequences of CeO2 films by PLD technique. Among the usual parameters governing this procedure to obtain high quality buffer layers, three of them received attention through this work: target-substrate distance, buffer layer deposition temperature, and gas atmosphere inside the vacuum chamber during the growing process. Based on the following results, authors found a full crossed relation among them, which develops in obtaining textured layers of highly oriented CeO2 along the (001) ordered Ni substrate. 16 refs.
