Abstract
The grain boundaries in high-j(c) (Bi,Pb)(2)Sr2Ca2Cu3Ox silver-sheathe d tapes have been investigated using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Two basic types of boundaries have been observed. Both types pe rmit the outstanding supercurrent transport over macroscopic distances . The observed grain boundaries are found to not be accompanied by amo rphous material and intergranular phases, even when they are totally i ncoherent.
