Abstract

The top-seeded infiltration and growth process (TSIG) is a very effective method for the preparation of YBa2Cu3O7−x (YBCO) bulk superconductors. In this paper, single-domain YBCO bulk superconductors with different ratio of nanoscale Y2Ba4CuBiO y (YBi2411) inclusions have been fabricated by TSIG process. The growth morphology, microstructure and levitation force of the YBCO bulks have been investigated. The amount of nanoscale YBi2411 added to Y2BaCuO5 (Y211) is in the range from 0.5 wt.% to 5 wt.%. It is found that the optimum proportion is obtained in the sample with 3.0 wt.% YBi2411 addition. The results are very helpful for the fabrication of high-quality single-domain YBCO bulk superconductors.
