High-resolution electron microscopy and electron diffraction of perovskite-type superconducting copper oxides

High-resolution electron microscopy and electron diffraction are quite useful for structural characterization of perovskite-type superconducting copper oxides on the atomic scale. Valuable information on the crystal structures and the microstructures could be obtained from observed high-resolution i...
