1. a d b c CAREER-Novel Ceramic Nanocomposites with Smart Interface Design Haiyan Wang, Texas Engineering Experiment Stations, DMR 0846504 High density misfit dislocations were observed along the interface of YBCO and BZO layers. Those interfacial defects are responsible for enhanced pinning properties. By inserting a thin layer of PBCO layer under YBCO layer, one can eliminate interfacial defects in YBCO (b) for examining the YBCO performance with (a) and without (b) interfacial defects.
