Abstract
ABSTRACTWe investigate the crystal growth of YBa2Cu4O8 (124) and Y2Ba4Cu7O15 (247) in Al2O3 crucibles at an oxygen partial pressure of 20MPa employing an O2- HIP apparatus in a mixed gas environment of Ar-20%O2. Various melts compositions, rich in Ba and Cu, are explored to optimize crystal growth of 124. Large 124 single crystals up to a size of 1×0.5×0.05mm3 are obtained from compositions with about 65˜67%CuO. 247 single crystals having a maximum size of 3×1.5×0.05mm3 are grown from the same composition of melts. 124 crystals exhibit superconductivity at 75K. 247 crystals show Tc of 20K.
