The results indicate that the critical temperature of MgB2/Ta/Cu is around 38.4 K with a sharp transition width of 0.6 K. The MgB2/Ta/Cu wire shows a strong flux pinning and the critical current density is higher than 105 A/cm2 (5 K, self-field) and 104 A/cm2 (20 K, 1 T). Also, the irreversibility field of the sample reaches 6.6 T at 5 K.展开更多

A small copper tube was loaded with Ti- and Cu-coated diamond particles, mad then the diamond particles were combined with Cu matrix by composite rolling. The morphology and element distribution of the interface between diamond and Cu were determined by scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive spectrometer. Finite element method （FEM） simulation was used to analyze the rolling process associated with experiment by DEFORM-3D. The final experimental results showed that homogeneous distribution of diamond particles could be observed in the center layer of the composites. According to the contrast experiments, the sample, whose diamond particle size is 0.12-0.15 mm and thickness of pre-rolling is 1.2 mm, showed relatively complete morphologies and homogeneous distribution. Experimental results indicated a poor efficacy of excessive rolling reduction. The thermal conductivity of the composites is about 453 W （m K）-1 by theoretical calculation. For FEM simulation, roiling strain and temperature field of the composites were simulated by DEFORM-3D. Simulation results were interpreted, and numerical results verified the reliability of the model. The simulation predicted that the local area of large strain, indicative of the strain along the thickness direction, could be intensified by adding diamond particles.展开更多

Sam- ples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM/EDX), transport and magnetic measurements. We confirmed the fol- lowing quite different roles of ZrC and ZrB2 in MgB2. ZrC doping was found to decrease the transport critical current density (Jc) at 4.2 K, while the critical temperature (Tc) kept constant. In contrast, the Jc values in magnetic fields were enhanced greatly by the ZrB2 addition, which resulted in a decrease in Tc by only 0.5 K. The reason for different effects of two dopants is also discussed.展开更多

Fe and Se powders with molar ratio of 1.05 were firstly mixed and sintered under 600 ℃ for 12 h to form precursor powders. Owing to the complex Fe-Se binary phase diagram, both superconducting tetragonal FeSe and nonsuperconducting hexagonal FeSe could be formed simultaneously during sintering. Aiming at the reduction of hexagonal FeSe phase content and higher superconducting phase volume, the influences of key parameters, including sintering time, cooling rate and heating rate, on the phase composition of sintered wires were systematically studied. Optimal sintering parameters are obtained, and the maximum tetragonal FeSe phase content of ~ 97% is achieved. Meanwhile, the effects of packing density of precursor powders on the phase composition of final wires were also discussed. Owing to the shorter length of diffusion path, more tetragonal FeSe was formed with higher packing density. The superconducting transition signal with critical temperature of ~ 7.5 K was obtained, which proved the effectiveness of our optimal sintering process.展开更多
