Enhanced electron-phonon coupling and critical current density in rapid thermally quenched MgB2 bulk samples

We report Rapid Thermal Quenching (RTQ) studies on MgB2 samples from optimized sintering temperature of 800 °C down to liquid nitrogen temperature with different sintering duration. Superior electron-phonon coupling strength (λe−E2g), critical current density (Jc) and irreversibility fields (Hirr) c...
