Description

We investigated the homogeneity of high-purity YBa2Cu3Ox (123) single crystals at different oxygen concentrations by means of the higher-harmonic susceptibility. The superconductivity of the onset temperature at 93.8 K was observed in the samples of the hypostoichiometric composition (x=6.87). Also, we succeeded in obtaining the 123 single crystals of the optimum stoichiometry (x=7.00) which showed a sharp single transition at 92.5 K corresponding to occurrence of the homogeneous superconductivity.
