Crystal growth and characterization of superconducting lead cuprates
Abstract
High quality single crystals of Pb2Sr2(R/Ca)Cu3O8 + y (R = Nd, Sm, Gd, Dy, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu and Y), the 2213 phase of the lead cuprate family, have been grown by PbO/NaCl flux and seed crystal methods. The role of NaCl and the pseudobinary phase diagrams of the crystal growth system are investigated. A correlation between crystal quality and superconducting properties of Pb2Sr2(R/Ca)Cu3O8 + y is observed. The 1212 lead cuprate phase has also been …
