Abstract
The investigation of the orthorhombic superconductor by high-resolution electron microscopy (HREM) shows the existence of two sorts of domains: twinned domains and oriented domains forming slices perpendicular to the axis. The interpretation of these domains and of their boundaries is given, based on the simulated HREM images previously made. It is shown that the orientation of the planes formed by the Cu square planar groups plays an important role. A phenomenon of misorientation of those domains is also observed and interpreted.
