Abstract

We studied grain boundaries in calcined and sintered YBa2Cu3Ox transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and found complex Ba-Cu oxides. The complex oxide was polycrystalline and composed of grains smaller than 100 nm in diameter and it often included minor phases rich in Y. Some stoichiomet-ric oxides such as BaCuO2, CuO and BaO were also observed along grain boundaries.
