Abstract

Large and single-grain Y-Ba-Cu-O(YBCO) bulk superconductors have been fabricated by using a seeded infiltration and growth method. $Y_2BaCuO_5$(Y211) precursor pellets and $YBa_2Cu_3O_x$(Y123) liquid source pellets were prepared using commercial powder and were processed by infiltration and growth method to achieve low pore and high trapped field property. The superconductor properties of the single crystal are measured and analyzed in relation with the density and size of the Y211 particle in the Y123 matrix. An optimum processing condition is suggested based on the analyzed results.
