We present a comparative study in terms of structural properties deduced from X - ray diffraction diagrams between YBa2Cu3O7 (YBCO) thin films fabricated on SrTiO3 (STO) single crystal substrates and bicrystallines substrates with a symmetrical tilt angle of 24 degrees. Periodic Lattice Distortions (PLD) have been observed around different Bragg peaks in YBCO thin films deposited on STO bicrystals while only diffraction peaks have been measured in the diagrams corresponding to the YBCO thin films deposited on STO single crystal substrates. Only in regions situated a 3.5 mm at both sides of the grain boundary the PDL have been investigated. …
