Microstructures of SiC nanoparticle-doped MgB2/Fe tapes

We have studied bulk MgB2 synthesized by reaction of MgH2 and B with and without SiC nanoparticles and at a range of reaction temperatures. All of the samples showed enhanced upper critical fields compared to most bulk MgB2, including the sample with 10 at. % SiC reacted at 600 °C, which showed Hc2 0 K 42 T. Extensive transmission electron microscopy TEM and STEM observations show that using Mg...

Enhancement of the critical current density and flux pinning of MgB2 superconductor by nanoparticle SiC doping

Doping of MgB2 by nano-SiC and its potential for the improvement of flux pinning were studied for MgB22x(SiC)x/2 with x50, 0.2, and 0.3 and for 10 wt % nano-SiC-doped MgB2 samples. Cosubstitution of B by Si and C counterbalanced the effects of single-element doping, decreasing Tc by only 1.5 K, introducing intragrain pinning centers effective at high fields and temperatures, and significantly e...

Effect of sample size on the magnetic critical current density in nano-SiC doped MgB2 superconductors

THE COMBINED INFLUENCE OF SiC AND RARE-EARTH OXIDES DOPING ON SUPERCONDUCTING PROPERTIES OF MgB2 WIRES

Ti-sheathed MgB2 wires doped with different amount of nanosized rare-earth oxide (Yb2O3, Gd2O3, and Dy2O3) and/or nanosized SiC were investigated. X-ray diffraction patterns suggested the existence of Mg2Si phase due to the SiC addition, while no any phase related to rare-earth oxide could be detected. Strong enhancement of in-field current carrying capability was observed on 2.5 wt.% Yb2O3 dop...

Mechanism of enhancement in electromagnetic properties of MgB2 by Nano SiC doping.

A comparative study of pure, SiC, and C doped MgB2 wires has revealed that the SiC doping allowed C substitution and MgB2 formation to take place simultaneously at low temperatures. C substitution enhances H_{c2}, while the defects, small grain size, and nanoinclusions induced by C incorporation and low-temperature processing are responsible for the improvement in J_{c}. The irreversibility fie...
