Study results of 1 mm diameter MgB2 superconductors fabricated by “powder in tube” method are presented. Ti and Nb were used as diffuse barriers materials. The mixture of magnesium and boron, powder of MgB2, and also mixture of magnesium, boron and MgB2 were used to form superconducting compound. Heat treatments in temperature range of 650-700 °C and 750-900 °C for 1h were conducted. It is established that 1 h heat treatment at 700 °C or 1 h at 900 °C heat treatment are sufficient for formation of MgB2 superconducting phase (Tc=38 K) in superconductors with titanium barrier and powder mixture of magnesium and boron or magnesium, boron and magnesium diboride. The Tc of in-situ process Nb - sheated superconductors was 37.6 K, the same Tc were measured for ex-situ superconductors heat treated at 900 °C for 1 h. The critical current measurement results of fabricated superconductors were presented, optimal heat treatment modes were determined for fabricated superconductors.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
