Abstract

Electron-diffraction patterns and high-resolution images show that the high-T c compounds in the system Bi-Ca-Sr-Cu-O exhibit incommensurately modulated superstructures of an Aurivillius-like basic structure. The modulation occurs in different symmetry related directions, giving rise to a number of superstructure variants and to different types of interfaces. No structural phase transitions are found in the temperature range from 20 K to the melting point.
