Fig. 6: Plan-View HAADF-STEM examination of the (Y0.5Gd0.5)Ba2Cu3OX + 2 vol%BaZrO3 film on coated conductor substrate.

HAADF image of a single BZO nanorod and associated nano-EDS and nano-EELS scans. The Zr scan clearly shows the morphology of BZO nanorods. The Y and Gd maps show presence of both Y and Gd in the BZO nanocolumns. The Cu map clearly shows that Cu is not present in BZO nanorods.
