摘要
This study compared the microstructure, texturing, and functional properties (critical currents) of YBa2Cu3O7-x-based bulk pellets that were prepared by the quench-melt-growth-process (QMGP), melt-textured growth, and conventional solid-state reaction approaches. Using two x-ray diffraction methods, theta-2 theta, and rocking curves, we found that the individual grains of two melt-processed pellets exhibited remarkable preferred orientational alignment (best rocking curve width = 3.2 degrees). However, the direction of the preferred orientation among the grains was random. Among the three types of bulk materials studied, the QMGP sample was found to have the best J(c) values, approximate to 4500 A/cm(2) at 77K in a field of 2 kG, as determined from superconducting quantum interference device magnetic data.
