چکیده

We have studied the evolution of superconducting and normal state properties of neutron irradiated Mg(B.962C.038)2 wire segments as a function of post exposure annealing time and temperature. The initial fluence fully suppressed superconductivity and resulted in an anisotropic expansion of the unit cell. Superconductivity was restored by post-exposure annealing. The upper critical field, Hc2(T=0), approximately scales with Tc starting with an undamaged Tc near 37 K and Hc2(T=0) near 32 T. Up to an annealing temperature of 400 C the recovery of Tc tends to coincide with a decrease in the normal state resistivity and a systematic recovery of the lattice parameters. Above 400 C a decrease in order along the cdirection coincides with an increase in resistivity, but no apparent change in the evolution of Tc and Hc2. To first order, it appears that carbon doping and neutron damaging effect the superconducting properties of MgB2 independently.

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

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-stoichiome...

Effects 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...

Effect of pressure on the superconducting transition temperature of doped and neutron-damaged MgB2

Measurements of the superconducting transition temperatures for Al-doped, Cdoped and neutron-damaged-annealed MgB2 samples under pressure up to ∼ 8 kbar are presented. The dTc/dP values change systematically with the decrease of the ambient pressure Tc in a regular fashion. The evolution of the pressure derivatives can be understood assuming that the change in phonon spectrum is a dominant cont...

High-field properties of carbon-doped MgB2 thin films by hybrid physical– chemical vapor deposition using different carbon sources

We have studied the high-field properties of carbon-doped MgB2 thin films prepared by hybrid physical–chemical vapor deposition (HPCVD). Carbon doping was accomplished by adding carbon-containing gas, such as bis(methylcyclopentadienyl)magnesium and trimethylboron, into the hydrogen carrier gas during the deposition. In both cases, Tc drops slowly and residual resistivity increases considerably...
