To study the possibility of overdoping with oxygen and, thus, an increase in the charge carrier density, nH(100 K), in RE123 layers (RE = Eu, Gd) with the aim of increasing the critical current density, Jc, oxygenation was carried out in the pressure range of pO2 = 1–160 bar and temperatures of TS = 300–800 °C during τ = 3–12 h of commercial EuBCO and GdBCO coated conductors (CC), from which the p...Show More
Superconductivity in a nitride of the MAX-phase family was reported by A.D. Bortolozo et al. in Ti2InN (a = 0.3074 nm, c = 1.3975 nm) with a transition temperature of 7.3 K. In this study, we report on Ti2InN MAX phase-based samples (with up to 94 wt.% of Ti2InN) synthesized by several methods, which, unfortunately, did not comply with bulk superconductivity of this compound. The Ti2InN materials ...Show More
The oxygen concentration and distribution in the microstructure of MgB2- and YBa2Cu3O7-δ-based materials affect the formation of nanostructural defects and thus influence the critical current density, upper critical magnetic field and irreversibility field. For MgB2 oxygen containing additions (Dy-O, Ti-O) in the form of nanograins occurred not to be very effective for an increase of critical curr...Show More
The correlations between structural features, critical current density and pinning landscape of YBa2Cu3O7-δ and MgB2-based materials produced in the forms of bulk melt-textured (MT-YBCO) and polycrystalline (MgB2) blocks and wires with excellent superconducting characteristics were revealed. The impurity oxygen distribution, higher borides inclusions and carbon doping are most important for the cr...Show More
The critical current density at 4.2 and 20 K up to 15 T and the temperature dependence of the irreversible field have been studied in magnesium diboride wires and bulks prepared from boron without and with carbon addition. Structural investigations using X-ray microprobe analysis have been performed. A monofilamentary wire with a round-shaped core manufactured from boron containing 2 mol.% carbon ...Show More
The influence of technological parameters (composition of precursor powders, type of additions, temperature, and pressure) on the superconducting characteristics (transition temperature, critical current density, and critical magnetic fields) of MgB2-based materials (bulk, wires, and thin films) and the correlation with their microstructure were studied. Microstructural observations are in good ag...Show More
The paper presents the results of studying the structure, phase composition, relieph, and superconducting characteristics of oxygen-containing thin films of magnesium diboride (MgB2)deposited on a dielectric substrate by magnetron sputtering of diboride-magnesium targets. The possibility of forming films of varying degrees of crystalline perfection and phase composition in the process of precipita...Show More
The superconducting transition temperature of 140 nm ± 10 nm thin films on sapphire substrates, which were deposited by magnetron sputtering, was around 36 K. Using a magnetization technique, the film's critical current density was estimated as JC = 1.8 × 107 А/cm2 at 10 K, JC = 8 × 106 А/m 2 at 20 K in a zero magnetic field B, and JC = 3 × 106 А/m2 at 10 K and B = 5 T. The values of the upper cri...Show More
The effects of the additions of powdered titanium carbide (TiC) and polyvalent titanium oxides (Ti-O) to MgB2 (synthesized under high pressure (2 GPa)-high temperature (800 and 1050 °C) conditions) on the critical current density, jc, critical magnetic fields, B C2 and Birr, and the related transformations in the materials structures are reported in this paper. The superconducting characteristics ...Show More
New type of Josephson junctions with hybrid nanostructured barriers has been fabricated and investigated. Heterostructures consisting of superconducting MoRe electrodes with a critical temperature about 9 K and a silicon film with a thickness of several dozens of nm (sandwiched between them) were fabricated. The silicon layer was doped by tungsten with various atomic concentrations. By using an at...Show More
We present a novel mechanism of resistive-switching phenomenon in nanoscale point-contact devices based on conducting perovskites, cuprates, manganites, and bismuthates. The measurements of their current-voltage characteristics at room temperature and 77 K have revealed bipolar hysteretic behavior that is caused, in our opinion, by the presence of a ferroelectric phase in the near-interface region...Show More
This paper describes the established correlations between the characteristics of MgB2-based superconducting materials and their structural features, in particular the oxygen distribution and content. As indicated by SEM and Auger analysis, a sizeable amount of oxygen is usually present in superconducting MgB2 -based materials (bulks, thin films, and wires). The matrix phase of bulk MgB2 contains r...Show More
We have studied thin-film superconductor - semiconductor (with quantum dots)-superconductor MoRe-Si(W)-MoRe junctions, where electrons are tunneling through a single or several quantum dots within the Si(W) barrier. Current-voltage characteristics (CVCs) of the samples have been measured in a wide voltage range from -900 to 900 mV at temperatures from 4.2 to 8 K. At relatively high tungsten conten...Show More
MgB2-based bulk materials synthesized under 30 MPa-2 GPa pressure demonstrated an enhanced connectivity AF ~50%-98%,as compared tomostother reports (below50%), and a shielding fraction of 75%-100%. The materials inhibit high critical current densities jc, but no strict correlation was found between AF and jc. On the other side, we found correlations between jc and the distribution of nanostructura...Show More
Bulk MgB2- and YBaCuO-based materials are competitive candidates for applications. The properties of both compounds can be significantly improved by high temperature-high pressure preparation methods. The transformation of grain boundary pinning to point pinning in MgB2-based materials with increasing manufacturing temperature from 800 to 1050°C under pressures from 0.1 MPa to 2 GPa correlates wel...Show More
Nanostructural superconducting MgB2-based materials contain a great quantity of O, which gives grounds to assign them to Mg-B-O compounds. The quantity of O in these materials is not an obstacle for attaining high critical current density (jc=106 A/cm2 in 1 T at 20 K), upper critical magnetic fields (Bc2(0 K)= 42 T, Bc2(22 K)= 15 T) and the fields of irreversibility (Bρ(0 K)= 32.5 T, Bρ(18.5 K)= 1...Show More
A variety of samples made via different routes were investigated. Samples are nanostructured (average grain sizes are about 20 nm). The advantage of high-pressure (HP)-manufactured (2 GPa, 800-1050°C, 1 h) MgB2 bulk is the possibility to get almost theoretically dense (1-2% porosity) material with very high critical current densities reaching at 20 K, in 0-1 T jc = 1.2 1.0 · 106 A/cm2 (with 10% Si...Show More
Critical current density (jc) of high-pressure (2 GPa) manufactured MgB2-based superconductors depends on the amount and distribution of higher borides (MgB12) in MgB2 matrix, which in turn are determined by the nature of the initial components first of all B or MgB2 and the temperature of sintering or synthesis. Ti and Ta additions can improve jc by promoting the higher boride formation via impur...Show More
A MgB2 superconductor was prepared from Mg flakes or powders and B powders using the powder-in-tube technique with explosive consolidation. Compaction of Mg and B powders resulted in a two-phase alloy, due to the relatively low temperature developed during compaction as well as the very short duration of the process. Formation of MgB2 was obtained after subsequent heat treatment in argon atmospher...Show More
The oxygenation under the high 16 MPa oxygen pressure allows reducing the duration of oxygenation and in the case of thin-walled MT-YBCO ceramics (with drilled holes) leads to a decrease of the amount of macrocracks in the structure and to an increase in critical current density in the ab-planes. An increase in the twin density enhances the critical current density in the ab-planes of the Y123 tex...Show More
