Abstract: | YBa2Cu3Ox domains for levitation applications have been produced by a seeding technology that includes Nd1+x Ba2−x Cu3Oy seeds and melt-processing technologies such as conventional melt-textured growth, melt-texturing with PtO2 and Y2BaCuO5 additions, and the new solid-liquid-melt-growth technology. Large domains (∼20 mm) with high levitation forces (F1 up to 8.2 N) have been produced. The reproducibility of the results is good, and the capability of producing a large number
of pellets in a single batch indicates good potential for the production of large amounts of this material. |
