J. Wang et al., PROCESSING OF SUPERCONDUCTIVE YBCO SINGLE-GRAIN MONOLITHS BY TOP-SEEDING-MELT-TEXTURING, Physica. C, Superconductivity, 282, 1997, pp. 501-502
Top-seeding-melt-texturing (TSMT) process of YBa2Cu3O7 was investigate
d. It was found that there exits a temperature-composition window for
the stable growth of single-grain monoliths of diameter larger than 2c
m with levitation forces of 15N/cm(2) and critical current density as
high as 510(4)A/cm(2).
