Keywords:superconductor, crystal growth

For all cuprate superconducting materials, which are practically used for various applications, have been developed through establishments of unique crystal engineering techniques, because those compounds have layered crystalstructures with multi-elements. Various technologies on crystal growth, crystal orientation and defect introduction, which are indispensable for the enhancement of material functionality will be introduced including recent topics such as a new large-scale crystal growth method and superconducting joints connecting cuprate superconducting.tapes.
