摘要
MgB2 commercial powder was encased in a Ni sheath and fabricated into a monocore tape. Different kinds of metal powder, i.e., Ag, Ni, Cu, In and Sn, were mixed with the MgB2 powder. The addition of low melting point metal powder, especially In, has been found to enhance appreciably the J(c) in MgB2 tapes. The annealing at a low temperature yields further increase in the J(c) of tapes with In addition. The enhancement in J(c) by the In addition and the low temperature annealing reaches a factor of five. The In addition may improve the linkage among MgB2 grains, which provides the improvement in J(c) and avoids a sintering treatment at high temperatures. The optimum amount of In addition to the MgB2 core seems to be about 10 vol%. The effect of other metal powder addition is also described. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
