Anisotropic properties of sinter-forged YBa 2Cu 3O 7− σ

The anisotropy of the upper critical field slopes and resistivity has been measured in sinter-forged YBa 2Cu 3O 7− σ . An analysis based on the anisotropic Ginzburg-Landau theory, combined with a Gaussian fit to the measured angular distribution function of the crystallites was carried out. The fund...

Summary:The anisotropy of the upper critical field slopes and resistivity has been measured in sinter-forged YBa 2Cu 3O 7− σ . An analysis based on the anisotropic Ginzburg-Landau theory, combined with a Gaussian fit to the measured angular distribution function of the crystallites was carried out. The fundamental quantities derived are consistent with the single crystal results, implying that this method is useful in determining the anisotropic properties (or in deducing the degree of the preferential orientation) in similar anisotropic compacts.
