  • [ $(Y_{0.5}Sm_{0.25}Nd_{0.25})Ba_2Cu_3O_y$ ] [(YSN)-123] high $T_c$ composite superconductors with $CeO_2$ addition were systematically investigated by top seeded melt growth (TSMG) process in air atmosphere. A melt textured $NdBa_2Cu_3O_y$ (Nd-123) single crystal was used as a seed for achieving the c-axis alignment large grains perpendicular to the surface of (YSN)-123 composite oxides. The size of $(Y_{0.5}Sm_{0.25}Nd_{0.25})_2BaCuO_5$ [(YSN)211] nonsuperconducting inclusions of the melt textured (YSN)-123 samples with $CeO_2$ addition were remarkably reduced and uniformly distributed within the (YSN)123 superconducting matrix except in the region very close to the Nd-123 seed crystal. The sample showed a sharp superconducting transition of 91 K.

  • Magnetic levitation forces and trapped magnetic fields of top-seeded melt growth-processed YBCO superconductors with multiseeding were studied. The number of seeds was varied from one to six. The surface magnetic field of the prepared YBCO samples was dependent on the number of the seeds. The trapped magnetic field of the top surface decreased with increasing the number of the seed. Particularly, it drastically decreased at the YBCO grain boundary, probably due to the weak rink nature of the boundary. The magnetic levitation force also decreased with increasing the number of the seeds, similar to the variation of the surface magnetic field.

  • 용액성장법에 의한 SiC 단결정 성장은 Si 또는 Si-금속합금의 융액으로부터 SiC를 성장시키는 방법으로서, 통상의 상부종자 용액성장법(Top Seeded Solution Growth)에서는 Si 융액을 담는 흑연도가니로부터 C가 Si 융액에 용해되고 용해된 C이 상부에 위치한 종자결정으로 이동하여 종자결정상에 SiC 형태로 재결정화하는 단계를 거쳐 SiC의 단결정을 성장시키는 과정을 거치게 된다. SiC 용액성장에 있어서는 SiC의 단결정성장을 위하여 흑연도가니의 형상, 크기, 재질 및 상대적 위치 배열 등 온도제어와 유체흐름 제어를 위해 다양한 공정변수를 선정해야한다. 본 연구에서는 용액성장공정의 설계를 위해 상용의 유한요소해석 패키지인 COMSOL Multiphysics를 이용하여 전자기장해석, 열전달해석, 유체해석에 대한 다중물리해석모델을 구축하고 이 모델을 이용하여 결정성장공정을 설계하였다. 해석결과에 기초하여 2 inch off-axis 4H-SiC 단결정을 종자결정으로 적용하여 $1700^{\circ}C$에서 상부종자 용액성장법에 의하여 SiC 단결정을 성장시켰다. 광학현미경 및 고분해능 X선회절분석을 통해 결정성을 분석한 결과 해당 성장조건에서 양호한 품질의 단결정이 성장함을 확인하였다. 이로써 본 연구에서 구축된 다중물리해석모델이 SiC의 용액성장 공정설계에 유효함을 확인하였다.

  • Effects of $BaCO_3$ purity on the superconducting properties of top seeded melt growth (TSMG) processed $Y_{1+x}Ba_2Cu_3O_{7-y}$ (Y1+x, x=0.1 and 0.2) superconductors were investigated. $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-y}$ (Y123) powder prepared using $BaCO_3$ with 99.75% purity and commercially available Y123 powder of 99.9% were used for the fabrication of single Y123 grain superconductors. $T_c$ values of the Y1+x samples prepared using low purity Y123 powder were slightly lower than those of the samples prepared using a high purity powder. In addition to the lower $T_c$, an anomalous peak effect in the intermediate magnetic fields was observed in Y1+x samples prepared using the low purity $BaCO_3$ powder. The slight decrease in $T_c$ and the anomalous peak effect are ascribed to the possible incorporation of a Y123 phase with impurity elements such as strontium and calcium included in the $BaCO_3$powder of 99.7%. The result suggests that the low purity $BaCO_3$ powder of a low price can be used as a raw power for the fabrication of single grain YBCO bulk superconductors.

  • We have successfully grown colorless and transparent Rb-doped potassium niobate (KRN) single crystals using the top seeded solution growth(TSSG) technique. In our crystal growth experiments, the Rb doping concentrations within the melt range from 2-15 mol% relative to that of Nb$_2$O5. Atomic absorption measurements indicate that the Rb content in the KRN solid solution is rather low; the Rb segregation coefficient is found to be on the order of 0.05. It is believed that this is due to the relatively much larger Rb+ ionic radius compared to that of K+, rendering it more difficult for Rb to replace K in the KNbO$_3$(KN) host lattice. Preliminary single-pass second harmonic generation (SHG) experimental results indicate that there exists marginal improvement in the phase-matching temperature tolerance of KRN compared to that of pure Kn single crystals.

  • In the present paper, KLN crystals have been grown along <001>, <100> and <110> directions by the top seeded solution growth (TSSG) method from Li-richer melts with different compositions. The morphologies of KLN crystals grown along different directions have been studied, and the well-developed facets have been unambiguously indexed using X-ray goniometer and stereographic projection analysis. The growth mechanism and defects such as cracks and inclusions were discussed on the basis of observations of facets on the crystal-melt interfaces. The crystal compositions were determined by chemical analysis method. The structure and lattice constants of KLN crystals were determined and calculated on the basis of XRD data by using TREOR90 and PIRUM programs. The Curie temperature and optical absorption were determined by dielectric constant peak and spectrum measurements, respectively. The blue SHG characteristics of a KLN sample were also investigated using a pulsed dye laser. PACS: 42.70.M;81.10;81.10A;42.65.K.
