Abstract

We have succeeded in the crystal growth of the superconducting La _2-x-yBa_xSr_yCaCu₂O₆ of the La2126 phase by only the traveling-solvent floating-zone (TSFZ) method without the hot-isostatic-pressure (HIP) treatment. In the TSFZ growth, we added a small amount of B₂O₃ to the solvent for the stabilization of the growth and used high-pressure oxygen of ∼ 10 atm as a growth atmosphere for the suppression of oxygen defects. We have obtained single crystals with the size of the order of 2×2×3 mm³ and determined the composition to be La_1.80Ba_0.07Sr_0.19Ca _0.97Cu_1.97O₆ by the inductively-coupled-plasma atomic-emission-spectrometry. The powder x-ray diffraction has revealed that the crystals are of the single phase of La2126 and include no impurity phases such as La_2-xM_xCuO₄ (M: alkaline earth). The as-grown single crystals have shown superconductivity of the bulk with the transition temperature T_c = 20 K.
