Effects of Neutron Irradiation on Carbon Doped MgB2 Wire Segments
R. H. T. Wilke, S. L. Bud'ko, P. C. Canfield +4
We have studied the evolution of superconducting and normal state properties of neutron irradiated Mg(BC) wire segments as a function of post exposure anneali…
Synthesis of Mg(BC) Powders
R. H. T. Wilke, S. L. Bud'ko, P. C. Canfield +2
We have synthesized bulk Mg(BC) from a mixture of elemental Mg, B, and the binary compound BC. Carbon incorporation was dramatically improved by a two step reac…
Superconducting and Normal State Properties of Neutron Irradiated MgB2
R. H. T. Wilke, S. L. Bud'ko, P. C. Canfield +2
We have performed a systematic study of the evolution of the superconducting and normal state properties of neutron irradiated MgB wire segments as a function of fluence and po…
The different development of the anisotropic upper critical field in MgB2 by aluminum and carbon doping
M. Angst, S. L. Bud'ko, R. H. T. Wilke +1
The temperature dependence of the upper critical field, Hc2, for both field directions in partially substituted polycrystalline MgB2 was determined. Whereas the suppression of Tc i…
Systematic study of the two band/two gap superconductivity in carbon-substituted MgB2 by point-contact spectroscopy
Z. Holanova, P. Szabo, P. Samuely +3
Point-contact measurements on the carbon-substituted Mg(BC) filament/powder samples directly reveal a retention of the two superconducting energy gaps in the whole…
Systematic effects of carbon doping on the superconducting properties of Mg(BC)
R. H. T. Wilke, S. L. Bud'ko, P. C. Canfield +3
The upper critical field, , of Mg(BC) has been measured in order to probe the maximum magnetic field range for superconductivity that can be attained by C d…
