Abstract

The methods of scanning electron microscopy, local electron probe analysis, and x-ray diffraction analysis are used for studying the morphology and local composition of grains in melt-textured long specimens of superconductors based of barium-yttrium cuprate and fabricated by the method of zone melting.
