摘要
Highly dense MgB2 bulks with high purity were synthesized by the newly developed PICT-diffusion method, starting from magnesium and boron which were separately packed in sealed stainless tubes. Critical current density, J(c), systematically improved with a decrease of grain size of the samples. A sample reacted at 800 degrees C for 60 h exhibited the highest J(c) of similar to 0.86 MA/cm(2) at 20 K in self-field, which was almost three times higher than that of conventional porous MgB2 bulks prepared by the solid-state reaction. Besides an increase of effective current pass, small grains with 30-100 nm in size and good grain connectivity resulted in the dramatically enhanced J(c). (c) 2005 American Institute of Physics.
