Enhancement of the critical current density and flux pinning of MgB2 superconductor by nanoparticle SiC doping

S. X. Dou, S. Soltanian, J. Horvat +6

Doping of MgB2 by nano-SiC and its potential for improvement of flux pinning was studied for MgB2-x(SiC)x/2 with x = 0, 0.2 and 0.3 and a 10wt% nano-SiC doped MgB2 samples. Co-subs…
