Abstract

We demonstrate here the way the local oxygen content and configuration in YBa2Cu3O7−x can be related to specific Fourier components of the image intensity in experimental high resolution electron microscopy images along the [001] zone axis. We further show that this allows us to evaluate experimentally local changes in the oxygen content and ordering at unit cell resolution in projection across twin boundaries in a high-Tc YBa2Cu3O7−x superconductor which exhibited Tc=92 K. Our studies indicate that, on traversing a twin boundary, there is not only an ordering change but also a reduction in the oxygen content. © 1996 The American Physical Society.
