Abstract: Properties of YBa 2 Cu 3 O x (YBCO) thin films deposited on Nd 1/3 Eu 1/3 Gd 1/3 Ba 2 Cu 3 O x (NEG) sublayers with a nano-undulated surface morphology were investigated. We found a strong influence of the NEG sublayer on the microstructure and superconducting properties of such YBCO films. The correlation between microstructural features and superconducting properties is discussed.
