Mechanism of seeded infiltration growth process analysed by magnetic susceptibility measurements and in situ observation

Using the magnetic susceptibility measurements (MSM) at high temperature and in situ video observation, the mechanism of seeded infiltration growth (SIG) process was investigated. This process offers the opportunity to verify the main phase transition by measuring the magnetic force acting on the sample. The heat treatment process which adjusted from MSM and video observation, allows to obtain the single domain YBCO superconductor.
