摘要
Samples with Mg1-xRuxB2 nominal stoichiometry were prepared by sintering at 800 degrees C. The critical transition temperature decreases up to a substitution level of x approximate to 0.015. A maximum solubility limit slightly in excess of 1 at.% Ru for Mg is confirmed by energy dispersive spectroscopy measurements. From and beyond this limit, an unidentified phase appears in the X-ray diffraction patterns. Interestingly, the lattice parameters of the MgB2 phase are constant up to x = 0.015, but start to decrease for higher Ru contents. This feature could be related to the fact that a Mg-Ru impurity phase results in a Mg-deficient (Mg, Ru) B-2 matrix. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
