“…However, for the YBCO system, it cannot produce sufficiently large crystals due to its low growth rate and small growth window. Although by Top-seeded solution growth (TSSG), high quality YBCO single crystals with large sizes can be obtained, however, the growth rate is limited by a low solubility of Y element in the Ba-Cu-O solvent [130][131][132]. Recently, Babu et al [133] and Wang et al [134] reported a modified TSMG, in which a single phase of Y123 as a precursor material was used, instead of the conventional Y123 + Y211.…”
