Abstract
Reliable liquidus lines of SmBa2Cu3Ox in the SmBa2Cu3Ox-Ba7Cu18O25 system u nder various oxygen partial pressures were determined precisely by in situ observation. The dependence of the liquidus line on oxygen partial pressure was revealed: as the oxygen partial pressure increased, the liquidus shift ed to higher temperature. Using this data, SmBa2Cu3Ox crystals were grown. This process was successfully observed in situ by high-temperature optical microscopy. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
