Enhanced current transport at grain boundaries in high-T(sub c) superconductors
Article Abstract:
Calculations, imaging and spectroscopy is reported at the atomic scale that demonstrate that in poly-crystalline YBCO, highly strained grain-boundary regions contain excess O vacancies, which reduce the local hole concentration. The results indicate that the ionic radii are more important than their electronic valences for enhancing current density.
