[9p-Z27-2] Synthesis and physical properties of c-axis grain aligned RE123 polycrystalline bulks using permanent magnets
Keywords:high-Tc cuprate superconductor, magnetic alignment
REBa2Cu3Oy(RE123) superconductors exhibit high critical temperature (Tc) and high critical current density (Jc) under magnetic fields. However, randomly grain oriented RE123 polycrystalline bulks show low Jc due to weak link of grain boundary. Therefore, we fabricated c-axis grain aligned RE123 sintered bulks by a simple magnetic grain orientation technique using permanent magnets and EtOH. In this study, we compared the Jc properties and microstructures of Dy123 magnetically aligned sintered bulks with ramdomly oriented.
