Abstract

Various morphologies are observed where twins meet grain boundaries in YBa2Cu3O7−δ. Twins may be “correlated” at the boundary (i.e. twin boundaries from one grain may meet a twin boundary from the other grain in a quadruple junction) and the twins may be narrowed or “constricted” at the boundary. These effects are determined by the interfacial energy. We estimate the energy of the various interfaces by determining the dislocation arrays they contain, using the constrained coincidence site lattice (CCSL) model and Bollmann's O2-lattice formalism. Our approach indicates that there are significant changes in the energy of the interfaces and is thus able to explain the variety of observed morphologies.
