✦ Synopsis


We investigated processing, microstructure and superconducting properties of Gd123 single grain bulk superconductors with a large amount of BaCeO 3 . The melt-textured bulk samples with compositions of Gd123 : BaCeO 3 : Gd211 = 100 : 40Àx : x (x = 0-40) plus 20 wt.% of Ag 2 O and 0.5 wt.% of Pt were fabricated in Ar-1%O 2 gas. The single grain bulk samples 25 and 33 mm in diameters were obtained with the composition of x = 5-40. It was observed that BaCeO 3 particles of 1-2 lm in diameters and Gd211 particles of 0.5-1 lm in diameters were dispersed in the melt-textured samples. Magnetic trapped fields of the 25 mm-sized samples with x = 10-40 were around 1 T at 77 K and the 33 mm-sized sample with x = 20 was 1.4 T at 77 K.

Single grain, Ag-doped Y-Ba-Cu-O bulk superconductors of up to 30 mm in diameter have been fabricated successfully by a seeded infiltration and growth (IG) technique. These samples exhibit low porosity compared with samples grown by conventional top seeded melt growth (TSMG). The density of voids wi
