摘要
The doping effect of diamond nanoparticles on the superconducting properties of MgB2 bulk material has been studied. It is found that the superconducting transition temperature T-c of MgB2 is suppressed by the diamond doping, however, the irreversibility field H-irr and the critical current density J(c) are systematically enhanced. Microstructural analysis shows that the diamond-doped MgB2 superconductor consists of tightly-packed MgB2 nano-grains (similar to50-100 nm) with highly dispersed and uniformly distributed diamond nanoparticles (similar to10-20 nm) inside the grains. The high density of dislocations and diamond nanoparticles may be responsible for the enhanced flux pinning in the diamond-doped MgB2.
