We report on the growth of PrBa2Cu307, 5 single crystals in the AI203 and ZrO 2 crucibles by flux method. The high influence of the reaction between crucible and liquid on the initial melt composition has been established. We found that the precipitation of the chemically stable compound BaZrO 3 and

Superconducting YBa2Cu~O7 crystals have been grown using a BaO-CuO flux. The morphology of the crystals shows a clear dependence on the flux composition and on the growth conditions. Cube like crystals and platelets with a size of some millimeters are grown.
Single crystals of REBa2Cu307.y (RE=Y, La, Pr, Nd and Sm) have been grown successfully by the travelling-solvent floating-zone (TSFZ) method. It is important to use low-oxygen-pressure atmosphere and the twice-scanning method for successful growth procedure. Low-oxygen-pressure atmosphere can lead t
