Funded Activity Summary

Microscopic Origin of the Enhanced Flux Pinning in Nano-Doped MgB2 Superconductors. Magnesium diboride (MgB2) has advantages over other superconductors in terms of high performance and low costs for a wide range of applications, such as superconducting power cables, superconducting magnetic energy-storage devices, transformers, fault current limiters and motors. Besides the apparent economic benefits, the application of superconductivity will significantly reduce the green-house gas emission. This project will advance the practical applications of MgB2 by understanding the mechanism to improve critical current density.
