In this article the authors describe some recent progress in understanding nucleation of high {Tc} superconducting cuprates during epitaxial film growth. A brief review is given of a number of film characterization techniques which can provide useful information to this end. Based on data from some of these techniques a nucleation model is discussed for the RBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub y} (R = Y or rare earth) compound. For growth on TiO{sub 2} terminated (100) SrTiO{sub 3}, their nucleation model suggests a 1:3:3 cation stoichiometry for the c-axis nuclei. Various other substrates are also discussed.
