Microstructure and critical current density of zone melt textured YBa2Cu3O6+x
- 1. Department of Materials Science and Engineering, University of Notre Dame, Notre Dame, IN (USA)
Description
Zone melting has been used to produce texture in extruded YBa2Cu3O6+x wires. Highly aligned microstructures are produced with a-b planes oriented along the axis of the wires. Microstructural observations show that changes in alignment orientation can occur, and can result in the inability to carry a transport current. Pulsed transport Jc measurements on oriented samples indicate a zero field critical current density greater than 4x104 A/cm2
