摘要：

A comprehensive microstructural study was conducted on optimally-doped epitaxial Ba(Fe1-xCox)(2)As-2 thin films grown by pulsed laser deposition on various substrates of a wide range of lattice constants: SrTiO3, LaAlO3, (La, Sr)(Al, Ta)O-3, MgO, CaF2, and BaF2. We found that epitaxial strain directly affects the superconductivity in the film, with the transition temperature decreasing linearly with increasing in-plane lattice constant of the film. However, the strain is not determined by the lattice mismatch between the film and substrate. Instead, the mosaic spread of the grain orientation in the film and the thermal expansion coefficient of the substrate were found to correlate well with the in-plane lattice constant of the film. The result confirms the importance of structural distortions to the superconductivity in the Ba(Fe1-xCox)(2)As-2 films.
