The X-ray diffraction, Scanning Tunneling Microscope and Scanning Force Microscope were utilized to characterize the surface morphology and the crystal structure of YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub Y} (YBCO) and LaSrGaO{sub y} (LSGO) thin films on MgO(001) and SrTiO{sub 3}(001) substrates. YBCO and LSGO films were prepared by the rf magnetron sputtering and the pulse laser ablation. The X-ray diffraction pattern shows that YBCO and LSGO films on SrTiO{sub 3}(001) and MgO(001) were epitaxial, with the crystal c-axis perpendicular to the plane of the substrate. Spiral dislocation and layer-cake-like morphology were observed in YBCO films. T{sub c} of the as grown YBCO films was about 90 K with the critical current density greater than 106 A/cm{sup 2} at 77 K.
