Abstract

An attempt was made to grow Y-Ba-Cu-O single crystals by skull method(cold crucible process). Grown YBa2Cu3O7-x(YBC) single crystals were obtained from the upper part of the YBC solid mixture. There were plate-like YBC single crystals aligned with solidified flux along the crystal growth direction. Single crystal size was (5$\times$2$\times$0.2㎣) and was grown to a-b plane of YBC crystal structure which can flow super currents. Optical microscope and X-ray diffraction were employed characterize these microstructure and YBC single crystals.
