Effect of Addition of TiO2/SiO2 Nanoparticles on Hc2 and Hirr in MgB2 Bulks
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, MgB2 bulks were prepared with doped TiO2 nanoparticles surface-modified by 5-10% SiO2. Quantitative X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis was performed to obtain the weight fraction of impurities using the Rietveld method. The effects of addition of TiO2/SiO2 nanoparticles on the critical temperature (Tc), the upper critical field (Hc2), and the irreversibility field (Hirr) as a function of doping rates at 750°C are reported. It has been found that the addition of TiO2/SiO2 nanoparticles resulted in small depressions in Tc, while the Hc2 and Hirr performances were improved due to TiO2/SiO2 nanoparticle doping. Keywords-upper critical field; irreversibility field; doping; magnesium diboride; TiO2/SiO2

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...

In this work, TiO2 /SiO2 (pure anatase), and TiO2 /SiO2 (anatase/rutile) nano-photocatalysts are prepared by using sol-gel method and control of acidity. The particles size is calculated using Scheerer, s equation and is estimated to be around 7-15 nm. In order to improve the photocatalytic activity of TiO2 /SiO2 ,1% (wt) platinum particles are loaded on both catalysts using photoreductive meth...
متن کاملApplication of Au@SiO2 Plasmonic Nanoparticles at Interface of TiO2 Mesoporous Layers in Perovskite Solar Cells
To investigate the plasmonic effect in perovskite solar cells, the effect of depositing Au@SiO2 nanoparticles on the top and the bottom of mesoporous TiO2 layers was studied. First, Au@SiO2 nanoparticles were synthesized. The particles were then deposited at the different interfaces of mesoporous TiO2 layers. Although the two structures show approximately similar optical absorption, only cells ...
