Evaluation of Mg size dependence on superconductivity of MgB2

Abstract: MgB 2 bulk samples are synthesized through solid state reaction route using Mg precursors with different particle size by keeping the boron precursor unchanged. Scanning electron microscopy study of the fractured surface for all the samples depicts quite distinct structure depending on the Mg precursor. Big size of Mg precursor resulted in to largely elongated and deep pores while smaller one gave roughly ellipsoidal and shallow pore structure. Influence of the Mg particle size on the grain to grain connectivi… Show more

“…In general, microstructural studies reveal that wires formed in situ show an inherent porosity in the final MgB 2 wire due to a reduction in volume from the initial denselypacked starting materials [23]. This porosity is dependent on the particle size of starting materials [20,[24][25][26] and can be managed by temperature [27] or pressure [28][29][30] regimes and drawing methods. Nevertheless, porosity in these wires can be as high as 50% [31].…”
