Single crystals of lanthanum gallate would be the suitable substrate for YBaCuO films except for the phase transition and the tendency to twinning existing in this material. However, by appropriate choice of growth conditions in the Czochralski method, it is possible to grow single crystal of LaGaO_{3} with low density of twin boundaries. Special stress and temperature treatment can then be applied to such materials to remove majority of existing twins. The substrates were examined by X-ray topography before and after detwinning and the surface was scanned with a profilometer.
