The anisotropic oxide superconductors YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7{minus}{delta}} and Sr{sub 2}RuO{sub 4} have been epitaxially combined in various ways (c-axis on c-axis, c-axis on a-axis, and a-axis on a-axis) though the use of appropriate substrates. Phase-pure a-axis oriented or c-axis oriented epitaxial Sr{sub 2}RuO{sub 4} films were grown by pulsed laser deposition. YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7{minus}{delta}} films were then grown on both orientations of Sr{sub 2}RuO{sub 4} films and the resulting epitaxy was characterized.
