It is found that the excess of Mg and C in initial material mixture is favorable to improvement inT c and helps to obtain single-phase samples. For preparing MgCNi3 superconductor, the optimum composition of starting materials is MgC1.45Ni3 with excess of Mg (20 wt.%) of the stoichiometric composition. In gCNi3-x Co x system, a continuous solid solution is formed, lattice parameter decreases slightly andT c decreases obviously with increasingx. A suppression of superconductivity is observed due to the substitution of Co (Mn) for Ni. The suppression effect is smaller for the substitution of Co than that of Mn展开更多

With the development of multiple mechanical mining, the output of fine granular coal has greatly increased. It is very difficult for the traditional technology of cleaning coal to desulfurize -0.5 mm high sulfur coal, whereas the desulfurized polytechnology of high gradient magnetic selection (HGMS) combined with flotation will be a potential new technique in solving this problemt. Therefore, pyrites and coals of Nantong coal mining district in Sichuan Province, China, have been tested by the mass susceptibility, which provides scientific data for HGMS.展开更多

Accordingly the high pressure sample has a very narrow transition width and a much higher bulk critical current density.展开更多
