On the pinning force in high density MgB2 samples

Abstract An analysis of the field dependence of the pinning force in different, high density sintered samples of MgB2 is presented. The samples were chosen to be representative for pure MgB2, MgB2 with additives, and partially oriented massive samples. In some cases, the curves of pinning force vers...

description Abstract An analysis of the field dependence of the pinning force in different, high density sintered samples of MgB2 is presented.
