Problems solved by technology

However, the critical current density of magnesium diboride is still very low compared with low-temperature superconductors
The usual method for preparing magnesium diboride is to sinter the mixture of B and Mg in the Ar atmosphere to form magnesium diboride through a diffusion reaction. The bulk and strips of magnesium diboride prepared by this method are usually loose, resulting in The connection performance between grains is relatively poor, resulting in poor critical current density
In the process of preparing magnesium diboride by solid-state sintering, the density of magnesium diboride can be increased by applying pressure, but this method is easy to reduce the transition temperature of magnesium diboride, and it is difficult to prepare practical blocks and strips. materials, greatly affecting the practical progress of magnesium diboride superconductors

Abstract

The preparation process of magnesium diboride superconductor features that magnesium diboride superconductor is prepared in strong magnetic field. Magnesium powder and boron powder in stoichiometric ratio are mixed homogeneously, the mixture is prepared into lump or belt sample, and the lump or belt sample is set heating furnace with Ar atmosphere and strong magnetic field and maintained at magnetic field of 0-30 tesla and temperature of 600-950 deg.c for 1-3 hr before the power source for the strong magnetic field and heating is turned off and the sample is cooled to room temperature inside the furnace. The present invention has effectively improved crystal grain connectivity and greatly raised clinical current structure of the magnesium diboride superconductor.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to a method for preparing a superconducting material, in particular to a method for preparing a magnesium diboride superconductor. Background technique [0002] In January 2001, the magnesium diboride superconductor with a critical transition temperature of 39K was discovered by Akimitsu et al. in Japan (Nature410(2001)63), which aroused widespread concern around the world and set off an upsurge in the study of superconductivity of simple compounds. The structure of magnesium diboride is very simple. It is formed by alternating stacking of Mg and B layers. In the B layer, B-B is bonded by strong covalent bonds; in the c-axis direction, Mg-B is bonded by ionic bonds, which is a typical AlB. 2 Hexagonal symmetric structure with anisotropy with a coefficient of about 2. The biggest advantage of magnesium diboride is that it can be applied at higher temperatures (20-30K), while low-temperature superconductors such as Nb 3 Sn, NbTi, ...
