Abstract

Twins in YBa2Cu3O7-δ may be “correlated” at [001] tilt grain boundaries (i.e. twin boundaries from one grain may meet twin boundaries from the other grain in quadruple junctions) and the twins may also be narrowed or “constricted” at the boundary. These effects are more pronounced in the regime of small angle grain boundaries. Based on TEM observations, a tentative threshold misorientation angle of approximately 15° is identified, below which there is a significant driving force reducing the system energy by correlation. The energies of various grain boundary domain structures associated with the twins were estimated on the basis of the dislocations they contain. Success has been obtained in explaining twin correlation in symmetrical tilt boundaries.
