Superconductivity of Magnesium Diboride: Theoretical Aspects

Potential Application of Magnesium Diboride for Accelerator Magnet Applications*

This paper reviews the potential of the newly discovered and unexpected 39 K superconductor MgB2 as a material for accelerator magnet strands. Unlike the high temperature cuprate superconductors, intergranular current flow in MgB2 is not obstructed by weak links, removing one serious obstacle to the fabrication of wires. The critical current density Jc exceeds 10 5 A/cm in 1 T field at 4.2 K an...

Flat-sag Cables with Semiactive Damping

Cables, such as are used in cable-stayed bridges, suspension bridges, guy wires, transmission lines, and flexible space structures, are prone to vibration due to their low inherent damping characteristics. The mitigation of cable vibration is necessary to minimize negative impact. Transversely-attached passive viscous dampers have been implemented on some cables to dampen vibration. However, it...

Anisotropy of the Sommerfeld coefficient in magnesium diboride single crystals.

The anisotropic field dependence of the Sommerfeld coefficient gamma has been measured down to B-->0 by combining specific heat and Hall probe magnetization measurements in MgB2 single crystals. We find that gamma(B,theta) is the sum of two contributions arising from the sigma and pi band, respectively. We show that gammasigma(B,theta)=B/Bc2(theta) where Bc2(theta)=Bc2ab/sqrt[sin2theta+Gamma2co...
