Large field generation with Hot Isostatically Pressed Powder-in-Tube MgB2 coil at 25 K
A. Serquis, L. Civale, J. Y. Coulter +7
We present the fabrication and test results of Hot-Isostatic-Pressed (HIPed) Powder-in-Tube (PIT) MgB coils. The coils properties were measured by transport and magnetization a…
The degradation of MgB2 under ambient environment
A. Serquis, Y. T. Zhu, D. E. Peterson +4
The superconductivities of samples prepared by several procedures were found to degrade under ambient environment. The degradation mechanism was studied by measuring the change of…
The influence of microstructures and crystalline defects on the superconductivity of MgB2
A. Serquis, X. Y. Liao, Y. T. Zhu +9
This work studies the influence of microstructures and crystalline defects on the superconductivity of MgB2, with the objective to improve its flux pinning. A MgB2 sample pellet th…
Synthesis, characterization and ageing of MgB2
A. Serquis, R. Schulze, Y. T. Zhu +7
We studied the influence of sample preparation and defects in the superconducting properties samples using atomic ratios of Mg:B=1:1 and Mg:B=1:2. Samples were characterized by SEM…
Improved superconducting properties of MgB2
N. A. Frederick, Shi Li, M. B. Maple +2
We present electrical transport, magnetization, and specific heat measurements on bulk MgB2 samples (T_{c} = 38.5 K) synthesized under 200 MPa pressure using a process based on hot…
Hot isostatic pressing of bulk magnesium diboride: mechanical and superconducting properties
S. S. Indrakanti, V. F. Nesterenko, M. B. Maple +3
Two different hot isostatic pressing cycles (HIPing) were investigated to synthesize bulk MgB2 samples: a "standard" cycle where a low vessel pressure is maintained while heating t…
