## Crystals of REBa2Cu40 s (RE = Yb, Tm, Er, Ho, Dy, and Yl-xCax) were grown at 1100°C and 600 bar of 02 pressure in a hot isostatic press furnace. Single crystal X-ray diffraction data show that all compounds crystallized in space group Ammm (#65) with the approximate lattice parameters a ~-3.82
The pressure dependence of the superconducting transition temperature T, of the new structure YBa 2 Cu.Os was measured on bulk material and single crystals as well. The differential dT,/dp was determined to be 0.55 K/kbar. Such a large change of T, with increasing pressure was never observed before
YBazCu307-6 single crystals of mm size were grown by two different methods, one involving solid state reaction, the other flux growth. Examination of magnetic behaviour of the crystals indicates critical currents of about I0 ~ A/cm 2.
