This review focuses on the superconducting properties of MgB 2 that are relevant for power
applications. The reversible mixed state parameters are the most important, since they …

This review focuses on the most important features of the 40 K superconductor MgB 2—the
weakly interacting multiple bands (the σ and π bands) and the distinct multiple …

Hybrid physical–chemical vapor deposition (HPCVD) has been the most effective technique
for depositing MgB2 thin films. It generates high magnesium vapor pressures and provides a …

Magnesium diboride, MgB2, which was discovered to be a superconductor with a transition
temperature c of 39 K in 2YY1 [1], shows a unique property of being a clear example of a …

Understanding the effects of fast neutrons on high-temperature superconductors is of
growing importance as new compact fusion reactors rely on these materials to generate the …

The study of the effects of irradiation damage in superconducting materials is crucial for the
twofold aim of helping to understand the nature of superconductivity and of improving the …

We have measured the normal state temperature dependence of the Hall effect and
magnetoresistance in epitaxial MgB 2 thin films with variable disorders characterized by the …

Nanocrystalline superconducting MgB 2 bulks were prepared by high pressure sintering of
ball milled MgB 2 powders. The disorder produced in these nanocrystalline materials shows …

The MgB 2 films with the degraded MgB 2 (SD) surface layer from the Cu ion bombardment
show a large improvement in the field performance of critical current density (J c) and a …

The discovery of superconductivity in MgB 2 with an unusually high TC of 39 K interested
material scientists all over the world. Many of its superconducting properties, including an …
