摘要
A significant improvement in J(c) at both 4.2 and 20 K has been achieved for MgB2 tapes using C9H11NO as a dopant. It is found that C9H11NO doping will cause a small depression in T-c while the J(c) and H-c2 values are strongly enhanced. The highest J(c) was obtained for a C9H11NO doped sample sintered at 800 degrees C, namely 3.7 x 10(4) A cm(-2), at 4.2 K, 10 T. This is the highest J(c) value obtained for a MgB2 tape using a carbohydrate as a doping material. Moreover, at 20 K, 5 T, a transport J(c) value as high as 1.9 x 10(4) A cm(-2) is observed, suggesting that MgB2 holds promise for practical applications. Besides the improvement of grain linkage, the clearly enhanced H-c2 is thought to be a major reason for the prominent J(c) performance, in a field, for C9H11NO doped MgB2 samples.
