The nucleation of the c-axis aligned and non-c-axis YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub {approximately}6.1} (YBCO) from precursor films on [001]-cut SrTiO{sub 3} was investigated for the so-called BaF{sub 2} process. Specimens with different thickness were quenched from 735 C, then studied by transmission electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction techniques. Preceding the formation of YBCO nuclei, three intermediate phases of (Y,Ba) oxy-fluoride and a transition phase without F were found in the precursor films. These were structurally and chemically related to the nuclei of YBCO which was found to be deficient in Cu relative to its stoichiometric composition.
