Abstract

The domain structure of oxide superconductors arises as a result of twinning associated with the tetragonal-orthorhombic transition inside a restricted volume (a grain in a polycrystal, an epitaxial layer, or a part of an initial single crystal). A thermodynamic theory of the size and arrangement of the domains has been developed. There are two types of interfaces in equilibrium domain structures: coherent twin boundaries and boundaries between polytwin layers with microstresses. Elastic vortex-interface interactions have been estimated.
