Large-scale superconducting electric devices for power industry depend critically on wires
with high critical current densities at temperatures where cryogenic losses are tolerable. This …

This review paper illustrates the main normal and superconducting state properties of
magnesium diboride, a material known since the early 1950s but only recently discovered to …

Iron with a large magnetic moment was widely believed to be harmful to the emergence of
superconductivity because of the competition between the static ordering of electron spins …

Superconducting materials hold great potential to bring radical changes for electric power
and high-field magnet technology, enabling high-efficiency electric power generation, high …

We review the thin film growth, chemistry, and physical properties of Group 4–6 transition-
metal diboride (TMB 2) thin films with AlB 2-type crystal structure (Strukturbericht designation …

In the present paper we report the effect of graphene oxide (GO) do** on the structural
and superconducting properties of MgB 2. Bulk polycrystalline samples have been …

When a force deforms an elastic object, practical experience suggests that the resulting
displacement will be in the same direction as the force. This property is known as positive …

Many molecules can rotate internally around one or more of their bonds so that during a full
360° rotation, they will change between unstable and relatively stable conformations …

This paper presents a topical review of the current state of the art in modelling the
magnetization of bulk superconductors, including both (RE) BCO (where RE= rare earth or …

We fabricated high-quality c axis–oriented epitaxial MgB2 thin films using a pulsed laser
deposition technique. The thin films grown on (1 1̄ 0 2) Al2O3 substrates have a transition …
