Abstract

The general problems of crystal growth of the cuprate superconductors yttrium barium cuprate (YBCO), bismuth calcium strontium cuprates, and thallium calcium barium cuprates are thermal instability, chemical instability, and structural instability. Crucible corrosion and resulting contamination are other obstacles to obtaining large crystals with high transition temperatures. Recent studies of phase diagrams, growth mechanisms, and effects of impurities and crucibles on growth of YBCO will be discussed. Also, the reproducible growth of large free crystals of YBCO will be revealed.
