Abstract
The structure of superconducting Bi2Sr2Ca1Cu2O8 + δ has been examined in atomic detail by field ion microscopy. According to our results we suggest that only the copper end planes are preferentially imaging in superconducting Bi2Sr2Ca1Cu2O8+δ. The atomic image of YBa2Cu3O7-x - covered tungsten tip has also been examined.
