Short Review on Rare Earth and Metalloid Oxide Additions to MgB₂ as a Candidate Superconducting Material for Medical Applications

Article Preview

Abstract:

MgB₂ is a candidate for the fabrication of magnetic coils used in medical applications. Our review indicate that oxide additions based on the rare earth or metalloid elements show improvement of the MgB₂critical current density (J_c) and the irreversible magnetic field (H_irr) without significantly affecting the critical temperature (T_c) However, the characteristics of the additions and the technological approaches show a strong influence in controlling superconducting properties. Both additions and the technology need a careful and complex optimization in order to enhance the J_c and H_irr.
