Abstract
SmBa 2Cu 3O 7− y (Sm123) seeds dissolved partly or completely during top-seeded melt growth (TSMG) processing of YBa 2Cu 3O 7− y . It made a solid solution of (Y 1− x Sm x )Ba 2Cu 3O 7− y and (Y 1− x Sm x ) 2BaCuO 5 around the seed/compact interfaces. The dissolved parts resolidified during peritectic cooling and its resolidification mode affected the growth mode of Y123 grains significantly. The relationship between the growth mode of Y123 grains of TSMG-processed YBCO superconductors and the resolidification nature of Sm123 seeds is reported.
