Title: Preparation of single crystals of superconducting YBa/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub 7//sub -//sub x/ from CuO melts

Abstract

Millimeter size single crystals of superconducting YBa/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub 7-//sub x/ (T/sub c/ --90 K) were grown by melting a mixture of stoichiometric YBa/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub 7-//sub x/ plus excess CuO at 1150 /sup 0/C followed by holding at 900 /sup 0/C for four days. Crystals were in the form of plates with c axis normal to the plate face. Growth of the crystals is believed to be aided by a liquid phase which is present at the holding temperature.
