Abstract
In this work the thermal conditions required for single-crystal growth in RBa(2)Cu(3)O(7-x) systems (R = Y or rare earths apart from Ce and Tb) have been systematically revised in order to improve the size of c rystals obtainable by the flux method; Large single crystals of NdBCO, SmBCO and EuBCO have been actually obtained and characterized by XRD, oxygen content and electrical resistivity.
