Summary

Polycrystalline YBCO superconductors have been prepared by an improved directional solidification process. X-ray diffraction pattern reveals that the YBCO(-) phase of the samples possesses strong texture which grows out along length direction of the tape-shape sample. This dense, regularly aligned and plate-shaped crystal structure is beneficial to transport current according to the critical current density measurement at 0-1 T and 77 K. Some process parameters have been studied.
