The thin films of YBa2Cu3O7-x lead to an increase in number of morphologies of investigated nematics and promote the obtaining of tilted oriented and homeotropic textures of these nematics. The coating of YBa2Cu3O7-x thin films by inverted cylindrical DC magnetron sputtering system has been shown in this work to be a useful method for obtaining oriented textures of lyotropic nematics.
