摘要
Electrochemically pre-textured samples have been subjected to melt-processing in order to produce dense and highly textured bulk samples of YBa2Cu3O7-y, (YBCO). Full oxygenation of these samples has been achieved at high processing temperatures of 720 degrees C by electrochemical titration, in order to increase the superconducting transition temperature to > 89 K. These samples show a large magnetic hysteresis, and the value of J(c) calculated using the,Bean model is in the range 4000-6000 A cm(-2) at 77 K and 1 tesla magnetic field, and is independent of the applied field in that range. In another variation of the melt-processing technique - referred to as ''isothermal melt-textured growth'' - highly textured samples have been produced by the movement of the solidification front at a constant temperature in an oxygen activity gradient.
