Abstract
Computer simulated field-ion images of the orthorhombic and tetragonal structures of RBa2Cu3O7-x superconductors have been obtained. No significant differences were found between the orthorhombic and tetragonal structures. However, these simulations indicated that several possible selective imaging species could be responsible for the characteristic striped field-ion images. These possibilities includes Cu1, R, Cu1+O1 and Cu2+O2+O3+R combinations.
