Extract

Since the discovery of superconductivity in certain classes of cuprates, there has been much research activity aimed at understanding the structure, microstructure, electrical and other physical properties of these materials. In this paper, we present a summary of the current status of on-going research on structural and microstructural characterization of the Bi cuprates and cationically substituted derivatives of these superconducting compounds. High resolution structural imaging together with conventional and analytical electron microscopy is used to examine the structure[l]. The overall aim of these studies is to characterize the structural and microstructural evolution and ultimately to determine the effect on the superconducting properties.
