A new form of superstructure with a a X 2 V 5 x 1 supercell oriented at 45" to the original unit-cell axes has been found in a YBa2Cu30,_, single crystal by means of electron diffraction and electron microscopy. It is suggested that this superstructure results from a substructure modulation.
The influence of implantation damage on the anomalous diffusion has been observed by varying the relative positions of the boron profile and damage distribution produced by silicon preimplantation at different energies. It is shown that the anomalous diffusion of implanted boron is caused by the implantation damage rather than the fast diffusing interstitial boron. During annealing, the extended defects acting as sinks for point defects retard the anomalous diffusion in and near the defected band, however, for prolonged annealing they begin dissolving and emitting point defects which support the anomalous diffusion.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
