High Tc Superconductor YBa2Cu3O7

Atomic resolution high angle annular dark field scanning transmission electron microscope image (Z-contrast image) of high Tc superconductor YBa2Cu3O7 with stacking faults. This high Tc superconductor will be used in constructing all superconducting 32 tesla magnet. The defects shown are beneficial to critical current density.
