Abstract
We have grown Bi 2Sr 2Ca 1- x Y x Cu 2O 8 ( x=0, 0.2, 0.4) single crystals by the travelling solvent floating zone method. The size of the single crystal decreases due to Y-substitution. The crystal without Y-substitution ( x=0) consists of nearly Bi 2Sr 2Ca 1Cu 2O 8 single phase and shows a sharp superconducting transition, but Y-substituted crystals show phase segregation which leads to a broad superconducting transition. The lattice constant along the c-axis decreases with Y-concentration, but those along the a-, b-axis do not show any noticeable change.
