✦ Synopsis


Carbon nanotubes (CNT) doping of magnesium diboride with a nominal stoichiometry of MgB 1.9 C 0.1 synthesized under ambient pressure (AP) and high pressure (HP) leads to an improvement in the critical current density J c and the upper critical field H c2 (T) with a slight depression in the superconducting transition temperature. The anomalous temperature dependence of H c2 (T) with a positive curvature implies the existence of two gaps in both samples. At elevated fields, the fact of the current density decays as J c (H) / H Àb in HP samples suggests a possible route to overcome J c (H) decreasing rapidly with increasing fields.
