Abstract
We report the C substitution effects in MgB2 bulks on the lattice parameters, FWHM, and critical current density (Jc) as a function of doping level. It is shown that using carbon-coated boron powder can effectively control the grain growth of MgB2 during the whole sintering process. Accompanied by the rapid cooling process, the final average grain size can be restrained within merely 50 nm, and the Jc value of the sample can be significantly improved at high field. On top of that, adding Cu is also considered a key factor in improving the current carrying property of the graphene-doped sample throughout the whole field, which can be attributed to the formation of the MgCu2 alloy phase.
期刊介绍:
Physica C (Superconductivity and its Applications) publishes peer-reviewed papers on novel developments in the field of superconductivity. Topics include discovery of new superconducting materials and elucidation of their mechanisms, physics of vortex matter, enhancement of critical properties of superconductors, identification of novel properties and processing methods that improve their performance and promote new routes to applications of superconductivity.
The main goal of the journal is to publish:
1. Papers that substantially increase the understanding of the fundamental aspects and mechanisms of superconductivity and vortex matter through theoretical and experimental methods.
2. Papers that report on novel physical properties and processing of materials that substantially enhance their critical performance.
3. Papers that promote new or improved routes to applications of superconductivity and/or superconducting materials, and proof-of-concept novel proto-type superconducting devices.
The editors of the journal will select papers that are well written and based on thorough research that provide truly novel insights.
