Abstract
Samples of high-temperature superconducting oxide EuBa2Cu3O6 + δ (Eu-123) with total cationic composition Eu: Ba: Cu = 1: 2: 3 are investigated by means of local X-ray microanalysis and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. The cationic nonstoichiometry of Eu-123 oxide is revealed. The particles of the studied samples are inhomogeneous in structure on the nanoscale, with two types of inhomogeneities: one with typical sizes of one to several nanometers, and one with typical sizes of 10 to 20 nm, respectively.
