โฆ Synopsis
Single crystals of CaNdA104 and SrLaGaO 4 were used as seeds to grow large domains of YBa2Cu30 x for levitation applications. These crystals have high melting temperatures (> 1500ยฐC) and similar lattice structures to that of YBa2Cu30 x. In a seeded melt-texturing method developed previously, the single crystals of CaNdAIO4, SrLaGaO4, and NdBa2Cu30 x were used as seeds for comparison. After melt processing, scanning electron microscopy analysis did not reveal any major differences in all these seeded melt-textured samples. However, the levitation forces in the samples seeded with single crystals of CaNdAIO 4 and SrLaGaO 4 increased considerably compared to that of the sample seeded with NdBa2Cu30 x. A model is proposed to describe the domain growth mechanism during seeded melt processing.
