Abstract

We studied the Ti doping effect on the superconducting properties and microstructure of sintered MgB₂ bulk polycrystals. Using Ti as a sintering assistant, we have fabricated MgB₂ bulk materials consisting of fine 10 nm scale particles and achieved a high J_c of 1 MA/cm² in self-field and 3 × 10⁵ A/cm² in 1 T at 20 K. The large enhancement of J_c is explained by the excellent connection between grains and the high density of pinning centers served by both grain boundaries and MgO nanoparticles.
