“…Carbon or C-compounds additions have been very successful to improve J c and/or H c2 , and the effects of carbon doping on superconductivity in MgB 2 has been extensively studied. The J c -H performance can be greatly improved by adding different carbon sources, such as carbon doped MgB 2 filaments (Wilke et al, 2004(Wilke et al, , 2005a, nanocarbon (Soltanian et al, 2003;Ma et al, 2006;Yeoh et al, 2006;Häβler et al, 2008), amorphous carbon (Senkowicz et al, 2005), diamond (Cheng et al, 2003), B 4 C (Wilke et al, 2005b;Ueda et al, 2005;Yamamoto et al, 2005aYamamoto et al, , 2005b, carbon nanohorn (Ban et al, 2005) and, particularly, carbon nanotubes Yeoh et al, 2004Yeoh et al, , 2005Yeoh et al, , 2006Serquis et al, 2007;Serrano et al, 2008Serrano et al, , 2009); Shekhar, 2007;Vajpayee et al, 2010;etc). In this chapter we present a review of recent developments in the study of the effect of carbon nanotubes (CNT) on the superconducting properties of MgB 2 bulk and wire samples, based on the known literature data and our own results.…”
