Bilayers of PBCO and YBCO are grown epitaxially on MgO substrates using PLD. In this paper, researchers discuss the entire optimization process in detail, giving quantitative parameter values. Film characterization included XRD, AFM and susceptance tests. The optimal process yielded bilayer structures which can be utilized in the fabrication of novel buffered step-edge Josephson junctions.
