摘要
MgB2 bulks were synthesized by the solid-state reaction of Mg and B at 600 degreesC and their superconducting properties were compared with samples heated at 850 degreesC. The samples heated at 600 degreesC exhibited improved critical current properties up to high fields at 20 K. Poor crystallinity is found to contribute enhancement of H-c2, H-irr and J(c) at high fields. On the other hand, the strongly grain connected network structure and smaller grain size are responsible for high J(c) at low fields. Improved J(c) up to 3.93 x 10(5) A cm(-2) and a high mu(0)H(irr) of similar to4.7 T, as for undoped MgB2 bulks, guarantees that low-temperature sintering is a promising way to fabricate MgB2 conductors with high critical current performance.
