Synthesis of superconducting MgÕMgB2 composites
نویسنده
چکیده
Composites consisting of Mg and MgB2 phases were fabricated by liquid-metal infiltration following two routes. First, a preform of MgB2 powders was pressure infiltrated at 800 °C with liquid Mg, which was subsequently solidified. Second, a preform of B powders was pressure infiltrated with liquid Mg at 700 °C, resulting in partial, in situ formation of the MgB2 phase. Subsequent annealing at 950 °C increased the content of MgB2 through reaction between B and Mg. All composites exhibited a pore-free structure with no significant additional phases and were superconducting near 39 K. © 2001 American Institute of Physics. @DOI: 10.1063/1.1427439#

Fabrication of Chemically Doped, High Upper Critical Field Magnesium Diboride Superconducting Wires
Controlled chemical doping of magnesium diboride (MgB2) has been shown to substantially improve its superconducting properties to the levels required for high field magnets, but the doping is difficult to accomplish through the usual route of solid state reaction and diffusion. Further, superconducting cables of MgB2 are difficult to fabricate because of the friable nature of the material. In t...
متن کاملCurrent-voltage characteristics and superconducting state stability in composites
The influence of the electric field dependence of the differential conductivity on superconducting state stability in multifilamentary superconducting composites is studied theoretically. The obtained stability criterion allows one to determine the upper limit of the values of transport current and background electric field in the superconductor. To illustrate the theory, the superconducting st...

متن کاملA facile method to fabricate carbon-encapsulated Fe(3)O(4) core/shell composites.
One-step synthesis of carbon-encapsulated Fe(3)O(4) core/shell composites is reported. The Fe(3)O(4) cores were formed via the reduction of Fe(3+) by glucose under alkaline conditions obtained by the decomposition of urea. The amorphous carbon shells were carbonized from glucose. A possible formation mechanism for the Fe(3)O(4)@C composite was discussed. In order to characterize these Fe(3)O(4)...
