In the stoichiometric iron-based superconductor EuRbFeAs, superconductivity coexists with a long-range magnetic ordering in Eu layers. Using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), we observed an atomic structure of as-grown EuRbFeAs crystals. HRTEM shows that crystals have two-dimensional intrinsic nanoinclusions established to be the RbFeAs (122) phase with a volume fraction of ~5.

The artificial pinning centers have adopted columnar morphology with average diameter of about 8 nm (BaSnO-doped sample) and 6.5 nm (BaZrO-doped sample) and density of 500 μm for the both samples.
