Domain-orientation dependence of levitation force in seeded melt grown single-domain YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub x}
- Department of Materials Science and Engineering, University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, Ohio 45221 (United States)
Domain-orientation dependence of levitation force has been determined for single-domain YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub x}. The single-domain material is obtained from a seeded melt growth process. The levitation force has been found to reach a maximum as the c axis of the domain is parallel to the direction of the force. The levitation force decreases in a cosine law fashion as the angle {theta} (the angle between the direction of the force and the c axis) increases from 0{degree} to 60{degree}. A maximum anisotropy of levitation force of 2.29 has been found. A physical model is proposed to explain the observed orientation dependence. {copyright} {ital 1997 American Institute of Physics.}
