Description
A novel technique, consisting of the application of a magnetic field during grain growth process for materials having an anisotropy of the normal state paramagnetic susceptibility, has been tested on the example of HoBa2Cu3O7-δ (HoBCO) superconducting compound. It has been experimentally observed that the application of an 8-T magnetic field during sintering results in a directional growth of microcrystals and considerable bulk degree of grain alignment. A combination of x-ray, magnetic and optical measurements gives evidence that the degree of c-axis texture, produced by this technique, can approach 100%
