Title: Microstructure and associated properties of YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub x} superconductors prepared by melt-processing techniques

Abstract

From the standpoint of applications, melt-processed bulk YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub x} (YBCO) superconductors are of considerable interest. We have studied the microstructure and levitation force of melt-processed YBCO, YBCO plus Y{sub 2}BaCuO{sub 5}, and YBCO plus Pt samples. Large single crystalline samples, grown using a seeding technique, were also studied. The levitation force is highest in melt-processed samples made by the seeding technique. 6 figs, 24 refs.
