[en] We have synthesized c-axis oriented magnetically melt textured grown DyBa2Cu3O7-y samples at 1035 degrees C under 0.6 T magnetic induction. We discuss the crystal growth mechanism of such 123 melt textured grown superconducting ceramics. A strictly tridimensional model is proposed based on Schmitz et al. model, taking into account the peculiar physical properties reported for such materials. In particular a filamentary one dimensional electron conduction path at the percolation threshold is emphasized. We have used optically polarized ligth microscopy as well as electron microscopy analysis to deduce the growth steps.
