Abstract

Post-annealed thin films comprised of mixed YBa2Cu3O7-x (123) and Y2Ba4Cu8O16 (248) phases with both faulted and unfaulted microstructures have been characterized by planar and cross-section transmission electron microscopy. The influence of 248-type faults on the 123 structure, possible mechanisms for the higher Tc's of faulted films, and observations of a fourfold ordered structure are discussed.
