    Directional solidification by appropriate chemically active single crystal seed: An alternative way of generating large superconducting 123 single domain

    A Dy2O3 single crystal has been used as a seed for the growth of isothermally melt-textured Dy-123 material. The nucleation-controlled step has been observed to be related to the heterogeneous nucleation of 211 p...

    Magnetic alignment in 2212 Bi-based superconducting system: Part I. Magnetic orientation of Bi2Sr2Ca1−x(RE)xCu2O8−y [(RE) = Gd, Dy, Ho, Er] powder dispersed in epoxy resin at room temperature

    The magnetic anisotropy of rare-earth substituted 2212 materials (Bi2Sr2Ca0.8RE0.2Cu2Ox with RE = Gd, Dy, Ho, Er) is put into evidence. Superconducting powder dispersed in epoxy resin is oriented under an externa...

    Polarized light microstructure analysis of melt-textured DyBa2Cu3O7−x ceramics

    We report the microstructure of magnetically melt-textured Dy-123 samples, as observed by polarized light metallography. The phase dimensions, morphology, orientation, nature, and distribution are outlined. Gr...

    Magnetic alignment in 2212 Bi-based superconducting system: II. Bi2Sr2Ca1−xDyxCu2O8−yx = 0.2 glass recrystallized in 0.6 T magnetic field

    Starting from a glassy precursor, Bi2Sr2Ca1−xDyxCu2O8−y (for x = 0.2) was recrystallized under a 0.6 T magnetic field. After splat quenching, the samples were heated and sintered at different temperatures T1, the...

    Simulated growth and microstructure of DyBa2Cu3O7−x with and without Dy2BaCuO5 addition

    We present optical observations of magnetically melt-textured DyBa2Cu3O7−x with and without 20 wt. % excess of Dy2BaCuO5. From these observations, we propose some kinetic mechanism of the growth of 123 compounds....
