Abstract

We studied the effect of carbon (C) ion implantation on the microstructure and superconducting properties of bulk MgB₂ prepared by the powder-in-sealed-tube (PIST) method. FESEM and TEM analysis indicate microstructural changes due to carbon ion implantation. DC magnetization measurements reveal a slight improvement of T_C and small ΔT_C values due to ion implantation. The J_C(B) characteristics of implanted samples show a significant enhancement of J_C compared with pristine MgB₂ at 10 and 20 K. MgB₂ samples implanted with 80 keV carbon ions with a dose of 2 × 10¹⁶ ions cm⁻² show maximum enhancement in J_C i.e., 2.07 × 10⁵ A/cm² at 5 T and 10 K. The flux pinning force density curves are theoretically analyzed using the Dew-Hughes model. The results reveal that significant enhancements in the flux pinning properties are contributed by the normal point defects caused by carbon ion implantation, which acts as a strong pinning center.
