Interfacial reactions and oxygen distribution in MgB2 wires in Fe, stainless steel and Nb sheaths

Superconducting MgB2 wires have been made by powder-in-tube (PIT) processing of commercial MgB2 powder in Fe, stainless steel and composite metallic sheaths using annealing temperatures from 850 to 1100°C. Technologically interesting Jc values around 106 A cm-2 in the self-field at 4.2 K have been a...
