摘要
Various amounts of Si up to a level of 18 wt% were added into MgB2 thin films fabricated by pulsed laser deposition (PLD). Si was introduced into the PLD MgB2 films by sequential ablation of a stoichiometric MgB2 target and an Si target. The precursor films were annealed in situ at 685degreesC for 1 min. Up to an Si level of similar to11 wt%, the superconducting transition temperature (T-c) of the film does not change significantly, as compared to the undoped film. The magnetic critical current density (J(c)) of the film at 5 K was increased by 50% with similar to3.5 wt% Si addition, as compared to the undoped film. The slope of H-irr (T) and H-c2 (T) curves of the 3.5 wt% Si added MgB2 film is slightly higher than that for the undoped film.
