Structural changes in YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7{minus}{delta}} resulting from alloying with Al, Co, Fe, and Ga are studied theoretically. A bond model for the various interatomic interactions yields results indicating that the tetragonal phase seemingly observed by x-ray diffraction experiments for YBa{sub 2}(Cu{sub 1{minus}x}M{sub x}){sub 3}O{sub 7+{ital y}} ({ital M}=Al,Co,Fe; {ital x}{gt}0.03) consists of differently oriented orthorhombic domains. Doping with Al,Co,Fe and domain formation causes uptake of excess oxygen.
