Outline of Final Research Achievements

MgB2 has the highest critical temperature Tc (~40 K) among conventional metallic superconductors and is expected to be applied at 5-30 K using a compact cryocooler, which enables cooling without liquid helium. In this study, pressureless densification of superconducting core in MgB2 wires was investigated. (1) Modified in-situ process using MgB4 as precursor was developed. The packing factor of MgB2 was improved 30% compared to the conventional in-situ process owing to the reduction of Mg amount in starting powder mixture. (2) Promotion of self-sintering of MgB2 under ambient pressure was succeeded. Record high connectivity was achieved owing to dense and well-connected grain-boundaries.
