摘要
YBa2Cu4O8 (Y-124) single crystals were grown by a self-flux method in a high-pressure gas mixture of 80% Ar-20% O-2. The calcined powder mixture of Y-Ba-Cu-O at a ratio of Y:Ba:Cu = 1:8:20 was charged in a Y2O3 crucible and put into an O-2-HIP (hot isostatic pressing) apparatus. The heat-treatment at similar to 1150 degrees C under similar to 2000 atm was carried out. YBa2Cu4O8 single crystals with typical size of similar to 0.1 X 0.2 x 0.05 mm(3) were obtained. The crystals exhibited a quite sharp superconducting transition at around 80 K. X-ray diffraction studies on the obtained crystals revealed that there are no stacking faults and the crystal has the lattice parameters similar to those reported for powder samples prepared in a high-pressure oxygen gas.
