    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...
