Ym. Zhu et al., MISORIENTATION ANGLE DISTRIBUTIONS FOR LARGE-ANGLE GRAIN-BOUNDARIES IN BI2SR2CACU2O8 AND BI2SR2CA2CU3O10 COMPOSITE TAPES, Applied physics letters, 65(14), 1994, pp. 1832-1834
The angular distributions of large-angle grain boundaries were studied
by electron microscopy for Bi(2:2:1:2) and Bi(2:2:2:3) composite tape
s. For Bi(2:2:2:3) the distributions are random, while for Bi(2:2:1:2)
, there was a high incidence of special boundary misorientations. The
preferred orientations in Bi(2:2:1:2), which were analyzed for [001] a
nd [100] rotations, agreed well with the calculated lattice coincidenc
es based on the constraint Coincidence Site Lattice model, and were at
tributed to the reorientation of the neighboring grains during its par
tial melt process. (C) 1994 American Institute of Physics.
