MgB2 bulk samples doped with sucrose were fabricated with the formula MgB2-x Cx ( x= 0, 0.08, 0.12, 0.2, 0.3, 0.5). Appropriate amounts of sucrose corresponding to the desired carbon content were added. The doping effect of sucrose was observed. It was found that samples doped with x = 02 sucrose have optimized current density at high magnetic field. The optimized sintering temperature for high current density was found to be 850 C. H 2 and H irr were both found to be improved due to the sucrose doping.


Effect Of Grain Size And Doping Level Of Sic On The Superconductivity And Critical Current Density In Mgb/Sub 2/ Superconductor, Saeid Soltanian, Xiaolin Wang, J. Horvat, M. J. Qin, Hua-Kun Liu, P. R. Munroe, S. X. Dou May 2008

Effect Of Grain Size And Doping Level Of Sic On The Superconductivity And Critical Current Density In Mgb/Sub 2/ Superconductor, Saeid Soltanian, Xiaolin Wang, J. Horvat, M. J. Qin, Hua-Kun Liu, P. R. Munroe, S. X. Dou

SiC doped MgB/sub 2/ polycrystalline samples were fabricated by in-situ reaction using different grain sizes (20 nm, 100 nm, and 37 /spl mu/m) of SiC and different doping levels (0, 8, 10, 12, 15 wt%). Phases, microstructures, superconductivity, critical current density and flux pinning have been systematically investigated using XRD, SEM, TEM, and magnetic measurements. Results show that grain sizes of the starting precursors of SiC have a strong effect on the critical current density and its field dependence. The smaller the SiC grains are, the better the J/sub c/ field performance is. Significant enhancement of J/sub c/ and the …
