Hl. Su et al., THE INFLUENCES OF THE SR CA AND BI/PB RATIO UPON THE STRUCTURAL MODULATION OF THE BI-2212 PHASE/, Physica. C, Superconductivity, 256(3-4), 1996, pp. 345-352
The crystal structure of Bi-2212 phase was studied by transmission ele
ctron microscopy. Two Bi-2212 specimens with different Sr/Ca ratios ha
ve the same displacive incommensurate Bi modulation vector q approxima
te to 0.21 b + c* but exhibit different superconducting critical temp
eratures T-c. Typical structural disordering (stacking faults, Bi-laye
r delineation effects, a-b plane misorientation) was found.
