[19p-143-2] Effects of High-Pressure Pressing for Cuprate Superconductors and MgB2 before Heat-Treatment
Keywords:superconductor
Effects of pressure at pressing process before heat-treatment on superconducting properties of randomly oriented bulks of Y123 and MgB2 will be reported in this paper. We found that bulk density monotonically increased with an increase in pressure at pressing. In addition, critical current properties were dramatically improved by prressing under high pressures.
