The performance of critical current density of GdBa2Cu3O7−δ (GdBCO or Gd123) superconductor bulk has an important influence on its practical applications. In this work, four single-domain GdBCO superconductor bulks were successfully processed by the modified top-seeded melt-texture growth method. The addition of a YBa2Cu3O7−δ (Y123) liquid source with different thicknesses, 0 mm (S0), 3 mm(S3), 5 mm (S5), 7 mm (S7), was introduced to study the influence on the superconducting properties. GdBCO bulk with the addition of the Y123 liquid source with a 3-mm thickness shows the best superconducting properties. The addition of the Y123 liquid source results in a decrease in the Gd3+ ion concentration required for Gd123 growth; thus, Gd2BaCuO5 (Gd211) particles in the liquid source need a larger self-decomposition to diffuse Gd3+ ions to Gd123 growth front, which refines the size and leads to a homogenous distribution of the Gd211 particles in the bulks. Thus, the more pinning centers of fined Gd211 particles improve the superconducting properties of GdBCO bulk. With increases in the thickness of Y123 liquid source to 5 mm and 7 mm, high RE3+ (Gd3+ and Y3+) concentration can coarsen Gd211 particles and fuse with Gd211 liquid source. The superconducting properties apparently drop. Therefore, the addition of a Y123 liquid source with a suitable thickness is a positive modification to obtain high-performance GdBCO bulk.
