Abstract
Described is an article comprising a biaxially textured metal substrate and a layer of palladium deposited on at least one major surface of the metal substrate; wherein the palladium layer has desired in-plane and out-of-plane crystallographic orientations, which allow subsequent layers that are applied on the article to also have the desired orientations.

An article comprising:
- a biaxially textured metal substrate;
- and
- a layer of crystallized palladium deposited on at least one major surface of said metal substrate;
- wherein at least about 90% of the crystals of said palladium layer have an out-of-plane crystallographic orientation of (002), and wherein at least about 85% of said crystals of said palladium layer have an in-plane crystallographic orientation with respect to the metal substrate that is cube-on-cube or at least about 85% of said crystals of said palladium layer have an in-plane crystallographic orientation with respect to the metal substrate that is 45 degree rotated.

An article useful for making a superconductive material comprising:
- a biaxially textured metal substrate;
- and
- a layer of palladium deposited on at least one major surface of said metal substrate;
- wherein at least about 90% of the crystals of said palladium layer have an out-of-plane crystallographic orientation of (002), wherein at least about 85% of said crystals of said palladium layer have an in-plane crystallographic orientation with respect to the metal substrate that is cube-on-cube or at least about 85% of said crystals of said palladium layer have an in-plane crystallographic orientation with respect to the metal substrate that is 45 degree rotated, and wherein said superconductive material comprises said article, which is a substrate for layers that further comprise said superconductive material.
