Carbon nanotubes effects on the relaxation properties and critical current densities of MgB 2 superconductor

Addition of nonsuperconducting phases, such as carbon nanotubes, can modify the superconducting properties of MgB 2 samples, improving the critical current density and upper critical field. A full understanding of the flux creep mechanism involved is crucial to the development of superconducting mag...
