Microstructural and crystallographic imperfections of MgB2 superconducting wire and their correlation with the critical current density

A comprehensive study of the effects of structural imperfections in MgB2 superconducting wire has been conducted. As the sintering temperature becomes lower, the structural imperfections of the MgB2 material are increased, as reflected by detailed X-ray refinement and the normal state resistivity. T...
