The anisotropy of the oxygen diffusion in the high-T
c-super con duc tor
Bi2Sr2CaCu2O was
investigated
using off–c-axis prepared thin films. High-quality
oriented films with thickness 1000 Å and c-axis inclined by a
tilt angle α with respect to the normal of the film surface were
grown up to
. Oxygen diffusion following a small
change of the ambient oxygen partial pressure in the
temperature range
was monitored by
in situ resistance measurements. Diffusion times according to an
activated process
were found, with E = 0.6 eV and
becoming
smaller with increasing tilt angle. A comparison of the experimental
with a calculation of
for an ideal
monocrystalline film suggests that as-grown films consist of crystalline
grains with la te ral dimensions
