摘要
We report on the synthesis of high density nanocrystalline MgB2 bulk samples with improved pinning via mechanical alloying of elemental Mg and B powders at ambient temperatures and hot pressing. The samples exhibit high j(c) at 20 K and 1 T, and an irreversibility line strongly shifted toward higher fields resulting in H-irr of about 0.8H(c2) (T) compared to H-irr (T) of about 0.5H(c2) (T) as typically observed for untextured conventional bulk specimens. The improved pinning of this material is attributed to the large number of grain boundaries in the nanocrystalline state.
