Highly Oriented Crystal Growth of Bi-Based Oxide High-T c Superconductors in High Magnetic Fields

  • Chapter
Materials Science in Static High Magnetic Fields

Part of the book series: Advances in Materials Research ((ADVSMATERIALS,volume 4))

Abstract

Grain alignment is of great importance for achieving high critical current density in high-T c superconductors. In recent years intensive research has been focused on obtaining texture in high-T c superconductors and several techniques have been developed. Among these techniques, magnetic melt processing (MMP), i.e. oriented crystal growth in high magnetic fields, can be applied to both Y-based and Bi-based superconductors. Due to the susceptibility anisotropy of high-T c superconductors along the crystal axes, some texture can be developed in high-T c superconductors by melting and solidification in a high magnetic field.
