摘要/Abstract

摘要： The microstructure significantly influences the superconducting properties. Herein, the defect structures and atomic arrangements in high-temperature Bi$_{2}$Sr$_{2}$CaCu$_{2}$O$_{8+\delta }$ (Bi-2212) superconducting wire are directly characterized via state-of-the-art scanning transmission electron microscopy. Interstitial oxygen atoms are observed in both the charge reservoir layers and grain boundaries in the doped superconductor. Inclusion phases with varied numbers of CuO$_{2}$ layers are found, and twist interfaces with different angles are identified. This study provides insights into the structures of Bi-2212 wire and lays the groundwork for guiding the design of microstructures and optimizing the production methods to enhance superconducting performance.
