Strongly linked current flow in polycrystalline forms of the superconductor MgB2.

TL;DR: The combined magnetization, magneto-optical, microscopy and X-ray investigations show that the supercurrent density is mostly determined by flux pinning, rather than by the grain boundary connectivity, suggesting that this new superconductor class is not compromized by weak-link problems.

Strongly linked current flow in polycrystalline forms of the new superconductor MgB2

TL;DR: In this paper, the discovery of superconductivity at 39 K in MgB2 has raised many issues, such as whether this new superconductor resembles a high-temperature cuprate super-conductor or a low-treme metallic super-conductors in terms of its current carrying characteristics in applied magnetic fields.
Journal ArticleDOI

Superconductivity in the non-oxide perovskite MgCNi3.

TL;DR: The high relative proportion of Ni in MgCNi3 suggests that magnetic interactions are important, and the lower Tc of this three-dimensional compound—when compared to the LnNi2B2C family—contrasts with conventional ideas regarding the origins of superconductivity.
