“…Concerning the transition width reflecting the homogeneity of samples, the values for ΔT c-mag range from 1.6 K to 2.8 K. This is comparable with the samples from [25] and slightly more than found for an IMD sample (1.2 K) documented in [29]. In addition, homogeneity can also be assessed by the difference between T c-res and T c-mag , as shown in [31].…”

“…They display two important features, namely the presence of cracks and a less well-reacted region in the cores, which are not apparent from the optical micrographs. Unlike the present MIMD samples, cracks were not found in MgB 2 wires prepared by the standard IMD technique, where annular MgB 2 layer is tightly surrounded by its metallic sheath [3,5,29].…”

“…It should be noted that quantitative EDS analysis is based on a presumption that the composition of the analysed volume is homogeneous [12], which is not true in this case. However, according to our previous experiences comparing the EDS result with XRD and TEM analysis [13,14] and using Casino for outgoing x-ray signals, we can conclude that well-reacted layers have a composition near to pure MgB 2 with only some B-rich grains.…”

“…If the oxide impurities are nanoparticles, they may enhance the pinning centers or the irreversibility field [17,[41][42][43]. Otherwise, if the intergranular oxide impurity size is much larger than the coherence length of MgB 2 , it will decrease the effective crosssectional area of the sample, and thereby block supercurrents [44][45][46]. Heat-treatment of the PIT-processed MgB 2 samples is a conventional nucleation and growth process, which normally produces much larger grain sizes of MgO (50-200 nm) [17].…”
