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…
Transport critical current density in Fe-sheathed nano-SiC doped MgB2 wires
Shi X. Dou, Joseph Horvat, Saeid Soltanian +5
The nano-SiC doped MgB2/Fe wires were fabricated using a powder-in-tube method and an in-situ reaction process. The depression of Tc with increasing SiC doping level remained rathe…
Magnetic shielding in MgB2/Fe superconducting wires
J. Horvat, S. Soltanian, X. L. Wang +1
Transport critical current (Ic) was measured for MgB2/Fe round wires, with magnetic field oriented perpendicular to the wire and parallel to it. Measurements were made on a wire wi…
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…
Transport critical current of Solenoidal MgB2/Cu Coils Fabricated Using a Wind-Reaction In-situ Technique
S. Soltanian, J. Horvat, X. L. Wang +2
In this letter, we report the results of transport Jc of solenoid coils upto 100 turns fabricated with Cu-sheathed MgB2 wires using a wind-reaction in-situ technique. Despite the l…
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…
