보론 분말의 결정화에 대한 열처리 영향 MgB2 초전도체의 임계전류밀도 특성
Effect of Heat-Treatment on the Crystallization of B Powder and Critical Current Density Property of MgB2 Superconductor
E-mail:
The crystallization effects of boron (B) powder on the phase, full width at half maximum (FWHM) values, and critical properties were investigated for in-situ reacted MgB2 bulk superconductors. The semi-crystalline B powder was heattreated at different temperatures of 1000, 1300 and 1500 oC for 5 hours in an Ar atmosphere. Then, using as-received and heattreated B powders, the MgB2 samples were prepared at 600 oC for 40 hours in an Ar atmosphere. As the heat-treatment
temperature of the B powder increased, both the particle size of the B powder and crystalline phase increased. In the case of MgB2 samples using B powders heat-treated at above 1300 oC, unreacted magnesium (Mg) and B remained due to the improved crystallinity of the B powder. As the heat-treatment temperature of B powder increased, the critical current density of MgB2
decreased continuously due to the reduction of grain boundary density and superconducting volume caused by unreacted Mg and B.
