Microscopic Origin of the Enhanced Flux Pinning in Nano-Doped MgB2 Superconductors

在超导电力电缆、超导磁储能装置、变压器、故障限流器和电机等广泛的应用中，二硼化镁（MgB2）具有高性能和低成本的优势。除了明显的经济效益外，超导的应用还将显著减少温室气体的排放。该项目将通过了解MgB2提高临界电流密度的机制来推进其实际应用。

Magnesium diboride (MgB2) has advantages over other superconductors in terms of high performance and low costs for a wide range of applications, such as superconducting power cables, superconducting magnetic energy-storage devices, transformers, fault current limiters and motors. Besides the apparent economic benefits, the application of superconductivity will significantly reduce the green-house gas emission. This project will advance the practical applications of MgB2 by understanding the mechanism to improve critical current density.
