Abstract

Efforts have been made in optimizing growth conditions for bulk textured growth of RuSr 2GdCu 2O 8 (Ru-1212) employing top seeded growth technique (TSG). Thermal stability and peritectic temperature ( T p) have been determined by TG–DTA analysis. The study facilitates appropriate thermal treatments to yield good quality sample. The structural study of the as grown sample has been carried out by X-ray diffraction technique. Morphological study by polarized optical microscope (PLOM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) reveals the growth mechanism. Subsequently, the stoichiometry has been confirmed by energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX). The observed characterization results show the influence of superconducting property on growth technique and allow one to correlate between the physical properties and experimental technique.
