Thermodynamic origin of the peak effect in the superconductor Nb3Sn
R. Lortz, N. Musolino, Y. Wang +2
We report a pronounced peak effect in the magnetization and the magnetocaloric coefficient in a single crystal of the superconductor Nb3Sn. As the origin of the magnetization peak…
Thermal fluctuations and vortex melting in the classical superconductor Nb3Sn from high-resolution specific-heat measurements
R. Lortz, F. Lin, N. Musolino +4
The range of critical thermal fluctuations in classical bulk superconductors is extremely small and especially in low fields hardly experimentally inaccessible. With a new type of…
High-pressure synthesis of pure and doped superconducting MgB2 compounds
P. Toulemonde, N. Musolino, R. Flukiger
Superconducting properties of bulk, dense, pure MgB2 and doped (Mg1-xAx)B2 samples with A = Na, Ca, Cu, Ag, Zn and Al were studied for compositional ranges 0 < x < 0.20. The effect…
Superconductivity in high-pressure synthesized pure and doped MgB2 compounds
P. Toulemonde, N. Musolino, H. L. Suo +1
Dense pure and doped (Mg1-xAx)B2 samples with A = Na, Ca, Cu, Ag, Zn and Al were synthesized at high pressure - high temperature in a multi anvils press (3.5-6 GPa, 900-1000C) for…
Transport critical current, anisotropy, irreversibility fields and exponential n factors in Fe sheathed MgB2 tapes
C. Beneduce, H. L. Suo, P. Toulemonde +2
The influence of the initial MgB2 grain size on critical current density, upper critical fields and irreversibility has been studied on Fe sheathed monofilamentary MgB2 tapes prepa…
Large transport critical currents in dense Fe- and Ni-clad MgB2 superconducting tapes
HongLi Suo, Concetta Beneduce, Marc Dhalle +3
We report on the preparation of dense monofilamentary MgB2/Ni and MgB2/Fe tapes with high critical current densities. In annealed MgB2/Ni tapes, we obtained transport critical curr…
