Optimizing C incorporation into magnesium diboride.

In this work, either SiC or separate Si and C (Si+C) powders of up to 10 weight percentage were in situ reacted with Mg and B (molar ratio of 1:2) and the superconducting properties compared. The latter shows a smaller a-axis lattice cell parameter as compared to the same level of SiC additions, ind...
