S. Kishida et al., EFFECTS OF TEMPERATURES AND PERIODS FOR MELTING ON GROWTH OF BI2SR2CACU2OY SINGLE-CRYSTALS, Journal of crystal growth, 153(3-4), 1995, pp. 146-150
We prepared Bi2Sr2CaCu2Oy single crystals by a self-flux method using
a crucible with a cap. From the results, we found that the optimum tem
perature and period for melting the starting materials were 1000 degre
es C and 5 h, respectively. Plate-like Bi2Sr2CaCu2Oy single crystals w
ith the size of 6 x 2 mm(2) were obtained and had an 80 K single-phase
.
