Crystal growth and superconducting properties of (Y,Ca)Ba2Cu3O7-delta with BaF2 additive

High-quality single crystals of YBCO:Ca up to 2x2cm in size have been grown in non-contaminating yttria or BaZrO3 crucibles from the eutectic self-flux system with BaF2 additive. A cluster model is proposed to describe the function of F- ions in the high temperature solution. The distribution coeffi...
