Abstract

We report the successful growth of a large (Ca_xLa _1-x)(Ba_1.75-xLa_0.25+x)Cu₃O _y (CLBLCO) single crystal. In this material, x controls the maximum of T_c (T^max_c ), with minimal structural changes. Therefore, it allows a search for correlations between material properties and T^max_c .We demonstrate that the crystals are good enough for neutron scattering and cleave well enough for Raman scattering. These results open new possibilities for cuprate research.
