• The self-organization of BaMO 3 (BMO) nanorods in REBa 2 Cu 3 O y films is important for enhancing the superconducting properties in magnetic fields. We previously reported the control of BMO self-organization using the seed layer technique, which included the low-temperature growth (LTG) technique. The LTG technique can achieve a high number density of BMO nanorods and excellent critical current density in magnetic fields at 4.2 K. To clarify the self-organization mechanism of BMO nanorods, we develop a three-dimensional Monte Carlo simulation and investigate the effect of the seed layer technique on the growth of BMO nanorods. Results show that the number density of BMO nanorods is affected by the seed layer deposited at a low deposition rate ( v DR ) and/or high substrate temperature ( T s ). Moreover, we propose a growth kinetic factor ( R ) that includes v DR , T s , and BMO volume fraction. Our simulation results of the number density are affected by R ; therefore, R is useful for predicting the number density of BMO nanorods.
