The new concept of achieving a homogeneous transition temperature to the superconducting state in the entire volume of GdBCOAg massive single crystal superconductor prepared by growth from melted superconductor components. With the proposed concept, by adding a certain amount of CeO2, the transition temperature to the superconducting state at the beginning of the crystallization of GdBCOAg massive monocrystalline superconductor will increase by more than two degrees and thus equal the temperature at the end of crystallization.
Competitive advantage
- bulk single crystal (GbBCOAg) grows without parasitic nucleation at the used concentrations of added cheap CeO2,
- the added CeO2 inhibits the growth of the particles of the Gd2BaCuO5 phase and thus increases the critical current density of the bulk monocrystalline superconductor in its own magnetic field.
Use of technology
- The technology can be used in the production of massive monocrystalline superconductors by the method of crystal growth from a molten mixture of superconductor components.
