Abstract

Mono-domain YBa 2Cu 3O 7− x (Y123) bulk superconductors have been processed using seeded infiltration growth technique (SIG). The combination of melt infiltrated liquid source (Ba 3Cu 5O 8) into the Y 2BaCuO 5 (Y211) pre-form and the nucleation of Y123 domain from SmBa 2Cu 3O 7 crystal seed has been investigated. The different configurations of SIG process were compared in this study. In addition, the effect of the starting Y211 particles size has been studied. The results reveal that, the Y211 particle size and different configurations strongly influence the properties of the final bulk superconductor sample.
