What is Sustainable recycling for epitaxial growth of YBa2Cu3O7−δ cryomagnets: From discarded buffer-crystals to superior seeds about?
REBa2Cu3O7−δ (REBCO, RE = rare earth elements) cryomagnets have considerable potential for magnetic applications due to their high field trapping capacities over 10 T at temperatures below 77 K. The controlled nucleation of REBCO crystals for attaining superior performance decisively relies on the seeding strategy related to seed material and seeding assembly. Recently, buffer-assisted seeding approaches have been developed for reliable growth, in which buffer-crystals are by-products and discarded after splitting off from main crystals as ceramic waste though containing certain expensive matters such as RE, Ag and Pt. Here, for the first time, we succeeded in utilizing YBCO and NdBCO/Ag buffer-crystals as seeds for producing REBCO crystals under maximum processing temperatures of 1015 °C and 1053 °C, respectively. YBCO specimens were characterized by differential scanning calorimetry and secondary ion mass spectrometry. It was verified that the buffer-crystal was 5.5 K higher than the normal-crystal in peritectic temperature (T p ). Furthermore, the highly distributed Mg element was identified in the upper middle part of buffer-crystal, which was diffused from the Mg-involved NdBC
