Abstract

Bi2Sr2CaCu2Oy single crystals are prepared by a self-flux method using the crucible with a cap. From the results, it is found that the optimum cooling rate and the optimum temperature ending the growth are 1 K/h and 830°C, respectively. A plate-like Bi2Sr2CaCu2Oy single crystal with the size of 6 × 2 mm2 is obtained which is 80 K single-phase.
