This paper reports that ESR of DPPH coated on Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O films fabricated on MgO (100) substrates by MOCVD have been studied for samples with different thicknesses, 1000 {Angstrom} and 100 {Angstrom}. Temperature dependence of the ESR peak-to-peak linewidth, {Delta}H{sub pp}, revealed that {Delta}H{sub pp} increases with film thickness. The Excess ESR linewidth, {delta}({Delta}H{sub pp}) was also analyzed in terms of (1 {minus} t{sup alpha}, with t = T/T{sub c}, giving for example {alpha} = 4 ={minus}1 for the 1000 {Angstrom} thick sample. The ESR lineshapes were distorted by rotating the samples in applied magnetic fields. Severe distortion was found for the 1000 {Angstrom} sample below about 30 K, but the distortion almost disappears at temperatures above 30 K. The applied magnetic field effects were also examined in both field-cooled and zero-field-cooled cases.
