Effects of stoichiometry, purity, etching and distilling on resistance of MgB2 pellets and wire segments

چکیده
We present a study of the effects of non-stoichiometry, boron purity, wire diameter and post-synthesis treatment (etching and Mg distilling) on the temperature dependent resistance and resistivity of sintered MgB2 pellets and wire segments. Whereas the residual resistivity ratio (RRR) varies between RRR ≈ 4 to RRR ≥ 20 for different boron purity, it is only moderately affected by non-stoichiometry (from 20% Mg deficiency to 20% Mg excess) and is apparently independent of wire diameter and presence of Mg metal traces on the wire surface. The obtained set of data indicates that RRR values in excess of 20 and residual resistivities as low as ρ0 ≈ 0.4μΩcm are intrinsic material properties of high purity MgB2.

Effects of Boron Purity, Mg Stoichiometry and Carbon Substitution on Properties of Polycrystalline MgB2
By synthesizing MgB2 using boron of different nominal purity we found values of the residual resistivity ratio (RRR = R(300K)/R(42K)) from 4 to 20, which covers almost all values found in literature. To obtain high values of RRR, high purity reagents are necessary. With the isotopically pure boron we obtained the highest RRR ∼ 20 for the stoichiometric compound. We also investigated Mgx 11B2 sa...
متن کاملOptimization of Electrochemical Etching Parameters in FIM/STM Tungsten Nanotip Fabrication
Field Ion Microscopy (FIM) and Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) have found a wide application in nanotechnology. These microscopes use a metallic nanotip for image acquisition. Resolution of FIM and STM images depends largely on the radius of nanotip apex; the smaller the radius the higher the resolution. In this research, for tungsten nanotip fabrication, electrochemical etching of tungsten...

MgB2 wire and tape were prepared using the powder in tube and reaction in-situ technique. All samples were characterized using the XRD, SEM, TEM, as well as transport and magnetic measurements. High transport and magnetic critical current density values have been obtained for metal-clad wires and tapes. Different sheath materials have been examined, but Fe appears to be the best sheath for MgB...
متن کاملNanowires fine tunable fabrication by varying the concentration ratios, the etchant and the plating spices in metal-assisted chemical etching of silicon wafer.
The metal-assisted chemical etching (MACE) was used to synthesis silicon nanowires. The effect of etchant concentration, etching and chemical plating time and doping density on silicon nanowires length were investigated. It is held that the increasing of HF and H2O2 concentrations lead to etching rate increment and formation of wire-like structure. The results show that, the appropriate ratio o...
متن کاملEffects of the sintering temperature on the flux-pinning mechanism and the activation energy of malic-acid doped MgB2
The flux-pinning mechanism and activation energy of 10 wt % malic acid-doped MgB2 were investigated by measuring of the critical current density and resistivity as a function of magnetic field and temperature. A crossover field, Bsb, was observed from the single vortex to the small vortex bundle pinning regime. For the sintered sample, the temperature dependence of Bsb(T) at low temperature i...
