We have found that single-crystal films can be grown on (0001) Al2O3 substrates through the golden relation of a perfect lattice-matching ratio between the a-axis lattice constants of MgB2 and Al2O3. Selected area electron diffraction patterns evidently indicate hexagonal MgB2 film with a 30 degrees in-plane rotation with respect to the Al2O3 substrate. The films grown on Al2O3 show a zero-resistance transition temperature of 39.6 K with a transition width of 0.1 K. The critical current density at zero field is comparable to the depairing critical current density and rapidly decreases with increasing applied field due to the lack of pinning sites, as observed for high-quality MgB2 single crystals.
