Amorphous magnetic Ni–Co–B nanoparticles with an average size of 5 nm were added to precursor powders of MgB2 superconductor. The preparation procedure for MgB2 pellets was optimized for obtaining the best critical current density (Jc) at elevated magnetic fields. Addition of Ni–Co–B decreases the Jc for heat treatment of precursor powders at 650 ° C. Heat treatments at 770 ° C and higher improve Jc at 20 and 5 K. This improvement occurs at both temperatures through the increase of the effective connectivity between MgB2 crystals. Vortex pinning was enhanced at 5 K, but not at 20 K. Ni–Co–B nanoparticles reacted with Mg in heat treatments above 730 ° C, forming Mg2Ni and MgCo2 nanoparticles. Ni–Co–B addition was associated with lower oxygen content in MgB2, indicating that reduction of MgO content is the mechanism for improvement of grain connectivity. Decomposition of magnetic Ni–Co–B nanoparticles results mostly in non-magnetic nanoparticles, so magnetic pinning did not occur in our samples.

A systematic study of the influence of doping MgB2 with single domain magnetic nanoparticles of NiCoB alloy, uncoated and coated with SiO2, has been performed. Electrical resistivity, transport critical current density, Jc(B,T), and magnetization of well characterized undoped and doped with 1.38 and 2.67 wt% of NiCoB particles (both uncoated and coated) MgB2 wires have been investigated in the temperature interval 2–300 K and in magnetic field B ≤ 16T. The superconducting transition temperature, Tc, decreases approximately linearly with the amount of dopand and the intergranular connectivity (the active cross-sectional area fraction, AF) is also reduced upon doping. Reduction of critical fields (irreversibility field, Birr, and upper critical field, Bc2) of doped wires was observed in the whole temperature interval, but an enhancement of Jc of doped wires with respect to the undoped one was observed at low temperature (5 K). Common scaling of Jc(B,T) curves, Birr(T) and volume pinning force, Fp, for doped and undoped wires indicates that the main mechanism of flux pinning is the same in both types of samples.

A binary magnesium diboride (MgB2) cable has been assembled by braiding six Nb/Monel sheathed monofilament strands around a central copper stabilizer for improving the operational environment. The total critical current (Ic) of the braided cable is obtained by multiplying the Ic of six single wires, without any dissipation. In this work, various mechanical deformations, i.e., swaging, two-axial rolling, groove rolling, and cold high-pressure densification (CHPD) at 1.8 GPa have been applied to the 6-stranded cable to obtain additional densification. The highest critical current density at both 4.2 and 20 K has been achieved in this work through the CHPD treated cable due to higher filament mass density. The present results are promising in view of the cable, particularly in power applications at industrial lengths that pave the way to seeking an optimal protocol to meet a practical functionality.

The electromagnetic properties of well-characterized iron-sheathed MgB2 wires, undoped and doped with dextrin-coated magnetite nanospheres and nanorods, have been studied in the temperature range 5?300?K and a magnetic field up to 16?T. Doping hardly affected the superconducting transition temperature and the active cross-sectional area of the wires, and increased the low temperature upper critical field, Bc2. Wire doped with nanospheres also showed enhanced irreversibility field, Birr, and low temperature (T???15?K) critical current density. Magnetization measurements generally confirm the transport results and indicate an enhancement of flux pinning in nanosphere doped wire for T???20?K. Annealing of wire doped with nanorods at higher temperature (750?? C) enhanced its critical fields, as expected for co-doping.

The effects of magnetic nanoparticle doping on superconductivity of MgB2/Fe wires have been investigated. Fe2B and SiO2-coated Fe2B particles with average diameters 80 and 150 nm, respectively, were used as dopands. MgB2 wires with different nanoparticle contents (0, 3, 7.5, 12 wt.%) were sintered at temperature 750°C. The magnetoresistivity and critical current density Jc of wires were measured in the temperature range 2–40 K in magnetic field B ≤ 16 T. Both transport and magnetic Jc were determined. Superconducting transition temperature Tc of doped wires decreases quite rapidly with doping level (~ 0.5 K per wt.%). This results in the reduction of the irreversibility fields Birr(T) and critical current densities Jc(B,T) in doped samples (both at low (5 K) and high temperatures (20 K)). Common scaling of Jc(B,T) curves for doped and undoped wires indicates that the main mechanism of flux pinning is the same in both types of samples. Rather curved Kramers plots for Jc of doped wires imply considerable inhomogeneity.

Mobile phone subscriptions continue to increase across the world, with the electromagnetic fields (EMF) emitted by these devices, as well as by related technologies such as Wi-Fi and smart meters, now ubiquitous. This increase in use and consequent exposure to mobile communication (MC)-related EMF has led to concern about possible health effects that could arise from this exposure. Although much research has been conducted since the introduction of these technologies, uncertainty about the impact on health remains. The Australian Centre for Electromagnetic Bioeffects Research (ACEBR) is a National Health and Medical Research Council Centre of Research Excellence that is undertaking research addressing the most important aspects of the MC-EMF health debate, with a strong focus on mechanisms, neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, and exposure dosimetry. This research takes as its starting point the current scientific status quo, but also addresses the adequacy of the evidence for the status quo. Risk communication research complements the above, and aims to ensure that whatever is found, it is communicated effectively and appropriately. This paper provides a summary of this ACEBR research (both completed and ongoing), and discusses the rationale for conducting it in light of the prevailing science.
