Abstract

To develop the EPR material quality, electrical and structural charact erizations were executed by EBIC, LBIC, TEM, ECP and X diffraction. Two interface types were observed; some interfaces parallel and constitued by Σ3 and Σ9 twins, show low electrical activity; other are curved with no defined index and higher electrical activity. Some orientations such as (111),(220),(331) appear more frequently.
