| Popis: | We analyzed microstructure of two undoped MgB2 single core wires prepared by two different technologies – in-situ powder-in-tube (PIT) technology and internal magnesium diffusion (IMD) processes. Their microstructure showed mainly different densities of superconducting material, corresponding content of pores and the volume ratio of amorphous MgO phase. We observed a special microstructural feature – thin oriented secondary phase layers on grain boundaries of plate-shaped MgB2 grains. The significant decrease of oxygen content in IMD wire was reflected in the presence of thin oriented Mg layers while in PIT wire thin oriented MgO layers were observed. The microstructure difference is reflected in increased critical current density Jc of the IMD wire in comparison to the PIT one. |
