Description

YBa2Cu3Ox has been processed by the solid-liquid melt growth method. Extremely small Y2BaCuO5 precipitates on the order of 10-100 nm have been found to be finely dispersed in the sample matrices. Magnetization measurements have shown that these samples exhibit much higher flux pinning strength compared to that of the traditionally melt-textured materials. A cavity model is used to interpret the observed pinning behavior
