Abstract

Nd_1+xBa_2-xCu₃O_y (Nd123ss) single crystals were isothermally grown under controlled oxygen partial pressure of 1% O₂ at various growth temperatures (T_g) from 1000 to 1020°C with a flux method. The flux composition of 20 mol% NdBa₂Cu₃O_y (Nd123) and 80 mol% Ba₃Cu₅O₈ (035) was employed. Nd123ss single crystals grown at T_g ≥ 1010°C exhibited a transition temperature T_c ≈ 95 K with transition width ≈ 1 K, the peak field (B_pk) ≈ 2-3 T and the irreversibility field (B_irr) at 77 K much higher than the experimental limit of 7 T. As the growth temperature is lowered, both the B_pk and B_irr were reduced, which can be explained in terms of the chemical fluctuation which can occur at lower T_g.
