Significant enhancement of flux pinning in MgB2 superconductor through nano-Si addition
X. L. Wang, S. H. Zhou, M. J. Qin +4
Polycrystalline MgB2 samples with 10 wt % silicon powder addition were prepared by an in-situ reaction process. Two different Si powders, one with coarse (44 mm) and the other with…
Substitution induced pinning in MgB_2 superconductor doped with SiC nano-particles
S. X. Dou, A. V. Pan, S. Zhou +3
By doping MgB_2 superconductor with SiC nano-particles, we have successfully introduced pinning sites directly into the crystal lattice of MgB_2 grains (intra-grain pinning). It be…
Improvement of critical current density in the Cu/MgB2 and Ag/MgB2 superconducting wires using the fast formation method
S. Soltanian, X. L. Wang, J. Horvat +3
The powder in tube method has been used to fabricate Ag and Cu clad MgB2 wires using an in-situ reaction method. The effects of short time sintering on the critical current densiti…
Very fast formation of superconducting MgB2/Fe wires with high Jc
X. L. Wang, S. Soltanian, J. Horvat +3
In this paper we have investigated the effects of sintering time and temperature on the formation and critical current densities of Fe-clad MgB2 wires. MgB2 wires were fabricated u…
High transport critical current density above 30 K in pure Fe-clad MgB2 tape
S. Soltanian, X. L. Wang, I. Kusevic +5
Fe-clad MgB2 long tapes have been fabricated using a powder-in-tube technique. An Mg + 2B mixture was used as the central conductor core and reacted in-situ to form MgB2. The tapes…
Flux Jumping and a Bulk-to-Granular Transition in the Magnetization of a Compacted and Sintered MgB2 Superconductor
S. X. Dou, X. L. Wang, J. Horvat +3
The recent discovery of intermediate-temperature superconductivity (ITC) in MgB2 by Akimitsu et al. and its almost simultaneous explanation in terms of a hole-carrier-based pairing…
