Abstract
Low angle tilt boundaries in melt processed samples from the Bi2Sr2Can-1CunOx system exhibit compositionally modulated faceting. Although we see local regions of the low-Tc (20 K) (2201) phase at such boundaries which would be highly resistive at liquid nitrogen temperatures, there are also "pathways" crossing the boundary plane made up of the high-Tc (2212) and (2223) phases. The characteristics of such low angle tilt grain boundary structures can therefore be modelled to provide a general insight into the correlation between high critical current densities and low texture breadths.
