Abstract
A melt growth process has been carried out on RE-Ba-Cu-O (RE = Y, Gd and Nd) superconductors in order to fabricate grain oriented samples that support a high critical current density (J c). Preliminary results on the microstructural data obtained on these samples are reported in this paper.
