Abstract

High resolution electron microscopy of the twin boundary layers in YBa2(Cu1−xMx)3O7+δ for x = 0 and 0.02 and M = Zn and Al showed that the boundary widths are ∼1 nm for the pure and the Zn substituted YBa2Cu3O7 and ∼3 nm for the Al substituted oxide. From two beam contract studies and the high resolution images, it was concluded that the respective lattice plane across the boundary is shifted by (⅓–½)·2d(110) along the boundary. The broadening of the layer by the Al substitution is also thought to be a cause for the reduction of the twin boundary energy, leading to an increased twin density.
