Abstract
The effect of polycarbosilane (PCS) doping on the superconducting properties and microstructure of MgB2 bulk has been studied in this paper. It is found that the lattice parameter a and the superconducting transition temperature decrease with increase of the doping level. However, the critical current density Jc is significantly enhanced and the J c(B) properties are improved at low temperature. Microstructure analysis indicates that a lot of Mg2Si nanoparticles, including those 5-10 nm in size, and some lattice defects induced by the PCS doping exist inside the PCS doped MgB2 samples, which may be the main reason for the enhancement of the flux pinning property.
