Magnesium Diboride Powder

Magnesium diboride (MgB₂) is an ionic compound with hexagonal crystal structure. It is an intercalated compound with alternating magnesium and boron layers. It is a brittle and hard material with poor ductility.

As a new material with superconductivity, magnesium diboride opens up a new way to study the new generation of high temperature superconductor with simple structure. The superconductor magnesium diboride is a metal compound formed by the combination of magnesium and boron in the ratio of 1:2. It is characterized by abundant resources, low price, high conductivity, easy synthesis and simple processing.

In 2001, researchers found that a nondescript compound, magnesium diboride, transforms into a superconductor at a temperature slightly close to the absolute temperature of 40 K (- 233°C). Its transition temperature is almost twice as high as that of other superconductors of the same type, and its actual working temperature is 20 ~ 30 K. To achieve this temperature, liquid neon, liquid hydrogen or closed cycle refrigerator can be used to cool the temperature. Compared with the industrial cooling of niobium alloy (4 K) with liquid helium, these methods are simple and cost-effective. Once doped with carbon or other impurities, the ability of magnesium borate to maintain superconductivity is no less than that of niobium alloy or even better in the case of magnetic field or current. Its potential applications include superconducting magnets, power transmission lines and sensitive magnetic field detectors.
