Abstract

Ti, Zr and Hf doped MgB₂ polycrystalline samples have been prepared by using a hot pressing technique. In Ti doped MgB₂, it was found that the optimum concentration of Ti for the critical current density J_c was 5% and J_c value was improved from 1.9×10 ⁵ A/cm² (Ti 0%) to 5.6×10⁵ A/cm ² (Ti 5%) in self-field at 10 K. J_c values were also improved to 5.0×10⁵ A/cm² with 2% Zr doping and to 4.8×10⁵ A/cm² with 1% Hf doping. We found that the improvement of the irreversibility field B_irr with Zr and Hf doping was larger than that of Ti doping.
