Stability Analysis of a Model for the Defect Structure of YBa<sub>2</sub>Cu<sub>3</sub>Ox

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Unusual microstructures of YBa 2 Cu 3 O x (123) crystals have been observed. These structures have been shown to pass very high transport currents. A model of the solidification of 123 from a melt with Y 2 BaCuO 5 (211) inclusions indicates that the stability of the 123 interface can depend on the sizes of the 211 inclusions. The observed formations are interpreted in the light of this instability.
