Simple One-Step Synthesis and Superconducting Properties of SmFeAsO1-xFx

The recent discovery of superconductivity in REFeAsO （RE, rare-earth metal） has generated enormous interest because these materials axe the first non-copper oxide superconductors with critical temperatures Tc exceeding 50 K as well as upper critical fields well above 100 T. However, for these new superconductors, very complicated synthesis routes, such as the complex two-step synthesis or high-pressure sintering, are required. Furthermore, there is the toxicity and volatility of arsenic to consider, sometimes a sealed quartz tube of arsenic exploded during annealing. We present a new method for producing high-temperature SmFeAsO1-xFx superconductors by using a one-step sintering process. Superconducting transition with the onset temperature of 54.6 K and high critical fields Hc2（0）≥200 T were confirmed in SmFeAsO0.7F0.3. At 5 K and at self field, critical current densities Jc estimated from the magnetization hysteresis using the whole sample size and the average particle size have reached 8.5×10^3 and 1.2×10^6 A/cm^2, respectively. Moreover, Jc exhibited a very weak dependence on magnetic field. This simple and safe one-step synthesis technique should be effective in other rare earth derivatives of iron-based superconductors.     

Enhancement of Critical Current Density and Flux Pinning in Acetone and La2O3 Codoped MgB2 Tapes

MgB2 tape samples with simultaneous additions of acetone and La2O3 were prepared by an in？situ processed powder-in-tube method. Compared to the pure and single doped tapes, both transport Jc and fluxing pinning are greatly improved by acetone and La2O3 codoping. Acetone supplies carbon into the MgB2 crystal lattice and increases the upper critical field, while the La2O3 reacts with B to form LaB6 nanoparticles as effective flux pining centers. The improvement of the superconducting properties in codoped tapes can be attributed to the combined effects of improvement in Hc2 and flux pinning.
