摘要
We studied the Ti doping effect on the superconducting properties and microstructure of sintered MgB2 bulk polycrystals. Using Ti as a sintering assistant, we have fabricated MgB2 bulk materials consisting of ne 10 nm scale particles and achieved a high J(c) of 1 MA/cm(2) in self-field and 3 x 10(5) A/cm(2) in 1 T at 20 K. The large enhancement of J(c) is explained by the excellent connection between grains and the high density of pinning centers served by both grain boundaries and MgO nanoparticles.
