Abstract
We have grown large Sr-rich Pr(Sr,Ba)(2)Cu3O, single crystals using Sr O-EaO-CuO mixture as the self-flux. The crystals were characterized by energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry, X-ray diffraction, temperature dependence of resistivity and susceptibility, and thermal analysis. Th is high Sr content is probably due to Al incorporation from the Al2O3 crucible. Our growth approach may provide an alternative to the prepar ation of twin-free 123 crystals.
