Two types of boundaries can be observed in polycrystalline ceramics. The most frequent type hold the ($ab$) plane. The most striking example is given by the coincidence $\Sigma_{\rm Q} \,3$ boundary $(c_1\perp c_2)$ which exhibits a highly continuous atomic structure. The second type do not hold the ($ab$) plane. It is shown that its interfacial atomic structure is disturbed on a few atomic planes only. Furthermore this structure becomes nearly perfect when abutting grains present a coincidence relationship. In parallel, local critical current measurements have been carried out on these different types of boundaries. It is shown that only coincidence boundaries which do not hold the ($ab$) plane display a weak attenuation of the supercurren...
