Abstract

Characterization of a twin-free orthorhombic YBa2Cu3Ox crystal is described in this paper. A tetragonal single crystal was grown by a crystal pulling method and the crystal was annealed in an oxygen atmosphere under a uni axial compression in order to prevent the twin formation. The resultant crystal had a twin-free structure. The onset T c of the crystal was about 91.8 K and the J c value was one fifth as small as that of the twinned crystal at 1 T.
