摘要
Measurements of the critical current density (J(c)) by magnetisation and the upper critical field (H-c2) by magnetoresistance have been performed for hafnium-doped MgB2. There has been a remarkable enhancement of J(c) as compared to that by ion irradiation without any appreciable decrease in T-c which is beneficial from the point of view of applications. The irreversibility line extracted from J(c) shows an upward shift. In addition, there has been an increase in the upper critical field which indicates that Hf partially substitutes for Mg. Hyperfine interaction parameters obtained from time differential perturbed angular correlation (TDPAC) measurements revealed the formation of HfB and HfB2 phases along with the substitution of HE A possible explanation is given for the role of these species in the enhancement of J(c) in MgB2 superconductor.
