NdBa2Cu3O7-δ Single Crystal Growth by the Traveling-Solvent Floating-Zone Method
Conference paper
Abstract
Large single crystals are very important to not only for applications but also for the basic study of high-Tc oxide superconductors. We have succeeded in growing large size ((A) 4 mm ø × 20 mm ℓ and (B) 3 mm ø × 32 mm ℓ) NdBa2Cu3O7-δ (Nd123) crystals using an improved Traveling-Solvent Floating-Zone (TSFZ) method. The crystal (A) consists of four grains, and the largest grain with the size of 2mm × 4mm has been proved to be of single crystal from the Laue diffraction pattern and Tc=94K (onset) by the SQUID magnetometer. The other crystal (B) consists of single grain.
