摘要
We prepared and characterized monofilamentary MgB2 wires with a mechanically reinforced composite sheath of Ta(Nb)/Cu/steel, which leads to dense filaments and correspondingly high transport currents up to J(c) = 10(5) A cm(-2) at 4.2 K under self-field. The reproducibility of the measured transport currents was excellent and did not depend on the wire diameter. Using different precursors, commercial reacted powder or an unreacted Mg/B powder mixture, a strong influence on the pinning behaviour and the irreversibility field was observed. The critical transport current density showed a nearly linear temperature dependency for all wires being still 52 kA cm(-2) at 20 K and 23 kA cm(-2) at 30 K. Detailed data for J(c)(B, T) and T-c(B) were measured.
