Dissipation-free MgB2 superconducting wires are valuable in terms of practical applications. Herein, we have found a strong correlation between critical current density (J c ) and the n-value extracted from the electric field versus current density characteristic. The power-law relationship (m) between the J c and the n-value, n∝Jmc , represents a critical index which is strongly dependent on operating temperatures.

Oxygen-free pyrene gas as a carbon (C) dopant was delinked and incorporated into highly dense MgB2 structure via a gas phase diffusion method. The technique offers the advantages that molecular C is homogeneously distributed into MgB2 and substituted at the boron sites without any severe deterioration of grain connectivity. The C substitution causes a significant shrinkage of the a-lattice parameter and an increase in the lattice strain, resulting in high disorder. The introduction of structural disorder as a result of C doping leads to a considerable enhancement of the in-field critical current density (Jc) and upper critical field.

Design Of A High Temperature Superconductor Magnetic Energy Storage Systems, R L Causley, Christopher Cook, Steve Gower

The University of Wollongong (UoW) has received funding for the research and development of a 20 kJ high temperature superconducting magnetic energy storage device (HTS SMES). This SMES will be operated at 25 K in contrast to most existing HTS designs, which operate at 77K. This paper includes a literature review of the current technology for the configuration of the SMES coil and a summary of the work done at UoW to date. Solenoidal and toroidal coils designs are compared to determine which will provide the required level of energy stored for a minimum superconductor and device volume. The design …

Measurements are reported of the time dependence of the current during electrochemical oxidation and reduction at a fixed voltage of single crystals and ceramic samples of La2CuO4+d. Staging peaks in neutron measurements of the single crystals together with the electrochemical measurements and magnetization measurements confirm that stage n=6 corresponds to d=0.055 +/- 0.05, the high-d side of the oxygen-rich–oxygen-poor miscibility gap. Furthermore, stage n=4 occurs at a value of d consistent with d{n^-1. For ceramic samples it is shown that two different superconducting compounds are formed depending on the oxidation voltage used.
