Funded Activity Summary

Fabrication of high quality MgB2 superconductor. Superconductors are electrical resistance free materials. They have great potential for power applications. Nowadays, superconductors have been used in applications such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging and other R&D equipment. This project deals with newly discovered MgB2 superconductor. The process outlined in this project will produce MgB2 superconductor with better superconducting properties. The application of MgB2 superconductor will save energy, and enhance the performance of existing electrical devices such as magnet and power line.
