Abstract
From the standpoint of applications, melt-processed bulk YBa2Cu3Ox (YB CO) superconductors are of considerable interest. In this paper, we st udied the microstructure and levitation force of melt-processed YBCO, YBCO plus Y2BaCuO5, and YBCO + Pt. Large single-crystal samples, grown by a seeding technique, were also studied. The levitation force was h ighest in melt-processed samples made by the seeding technique.
