Large single-crystal growth of RBa2Cu3O7−x by the flux method (R=Y and rare earths)

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento D

Summary

In this work the thermal conditions required for single-crystal growth in RBa2Cu3O7−x systems (R=Y or rare earths apart from Ce and Tb) have been systematically revised in order to improve the size of crystals obtainable by the flux method. Large single crystals of NdBCO, SmBCO and EuBCO have been actually obtained and characterized by XRD, oxygen content and electrical resistivity.
