N. Sakai et al., Fabrication of large melt-grown (Sm0.5Gd0.5)Ba2Cu3Oy superconductor and its trapped magnetic field, J KOR PHYS, 35, 1999, pp. S469-S471
We have studied suitable seeding methods for fabricating a c-axis textured
binary mixed (Sm0.5Gd0.5)Ba2Cu3Oy bulk with a single grain and also have sy
stematically investigated the interfacial reaction between various seed cry
stals and samples. We succeeded in fabricating a single-grain (Sm0.5Gd0.5)B
a2Cu3Oy bulk with a diameter of 53 mm. The trapped field magnetization was
about 0.5 T in a sample with dimensions of 20 x 20 x 5 mm(3) at 77 K.
