Gd/sub 2/O/sub 3/-Yb/sub 2/O/sub 3/ and Gd/sub 2/O/sub 3/-Ho/sub 2/O/sub 3/ mixed RE oxides were used to produce buffer layers with a perfect lattice match with superconducting layer. Since these RE oxides are 100% miscible in each other, pseudocubic lattice parameter of the buffer layers can be modified by changing the ratio of components to perfectly match with any superconducting RE-123. Texture and the microstructure of the buffer layers were studied by XRD, Pole Figure and ESEM.
