By varying the Gd content in the liquid precursor without changing the total amount of rare earth elements, series of GdYBCO films with x values of 0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 0.9 and 1.0 were fabricated by metal organic chemical vapor deposition （MOCVD）.

However, raising x from 0.5 to 1.0 gives rise to abundant a-axis growth of film and degradation of in-plane texture from 4.3° to 5.4°, consequently resulting in the decrease OfJcsf from 2.8 to 0.8 MA.cm^-2.
