Growth and characterization of Tl{sub 2}Ba{sub 2}CuO{sub x} (Tl-2201) single crystals

Journal Article · · Journal of Low Temperature Physics
A new closed-atmosphere method using a gold crucible has been developed to grow single crystals of the Tl-based cuprate superconductors by a self-flux growth method. This new method can provide mm-sized single crystals of Tl{sub 2}Ba{sub 2}CuO{sub x}. It should be noted that the value in the resistivity ratio R(300K)/R({Tc}) (RRR) of one of the as-grown crystals is 18.3. This high RRR value indicates that the newly developed method is useful to obtain extremely high-quality single crystals of Tl{sub 2}Ba{sub 2}CuO{sub x}.
