The temperature dependences of the resistivity of granular high-temperature superconductor YBa_2Cu_3O_7–δ ρ( T ) are measured at various transverse external magnetic fields 0 ≤ H _ext ≤ 100 Oe in the temperature range from the resistivity onset temperature T _ρ = 0 to the superconducting transition critical temperature T _ c at the transport current density from 50 to 2000 mA/cm^2. The effect of the external magnetic field and transport current density on the kinetics of phase transitions in both subsystems of granular two-level HTSC ( T = T _ c 2J, T _ c 1g, T _ c ) is determined. The feasibility of the topological phase transition, i.e., the Berezinsky–Kosterlitz–Thouless transition, in the Josephson medium at T _ c 2J < T _BKT < T _ c 1g “in transport current” is established, and its feasibility conditions are studied.

Influence of Preparation Process on Microstructure, Critical Current Density and Tc of MgB2/Fe/Cu Wires

The powder-in-tube MgB2 wires were prepared by high energy milling of Mg and B powder. The powder was not mechanically alloyed for 2h short milling time. However, the MgB2 grains in wires were very small (20~100nm) and resemble the dimple after post-heat treatment. The clear evidence for transcrystlline fracture was observed. It indicated that the grain connection was greatly improved and the fluxing pinning was significantly enhanced. Another point to view was no intermediate annealing during the whole rolling process. The influence of the post-heat treatment on the transport current density was studied. Despite the lower Tc of about 35K, the transport current density reached to 3×104A/cm2 at 15K and 3.5T for wires sintered at 700°C.

HIGH DENSITY MgB2 OBTAINED BY REACTIVE LIQUID Mg INFILTRATION

A new route to the sintering of MgB2 has been identified, based on a reactive infiltration of liquid Mg on a powdered B preform. The technique allows to obtain large bulk manufacts in an inexpensive way, without the need of high pressure apparatus. The best of the obtained samples shows a transport current density of 3 kA/cm2 at 4.2K and 9 T. The critical aspects of the technology are presented, together with the recent achievements and the perspective applications.
