Ti. Ivanova et al., INFLUENCE OF SYNTHESIS AND POSTGROWTH TREATMENT CONDITIONS ON THE STRUCTURAL HOMOGENEITY OF YBA2CU3OX SINGLE-CRYSTALS, Crystal research and technology, 30(2), 1995, pp. 189-193
The effect of synthesis and postgrowth treatment (by annealing at vari
ous temperatures and partial oxygen pressures) conditions on structura
l homogeneity of YBa2Cu3Ox single crystals has been studied. The obtai
ning of single crystals with both high oxygen content and high critica
l temperatures T-c has been optimized. The wide range of postgrowth tr
eatment conditions proposed allows to receive single crystals with giv
en oxygen content from 6.2 to 7.0.
