Abstract
This method for manufacturing lattice-matched substrates for high-T.sub.c superconductors employs at least two materials chosen from the group of known suitable substrate materials, of which one has a lattice constant smaller than the lattice constant(s) of the perovskite subcell of the selected superconductor material, while the other one has a lattice constant greater than the lattice constant of the perovskite subcell of the selected superconductor. These materials are then powdered and mixed intimately for providing a single-crystal either from the molten mixture of the chosen materials or by thin film deposition, said single-crystal containing appropriate molar percentages of the chosen materials so that resulting lattice constant is essentially the same as that of the selected superconductor material.
