Spintronics, or spin electronics, involves the study of active control and manipulation of spin
degrees of freedom in solid-state systems. This article reviews the current status of this …

This review paper illustrates the main normal and superconducting state properties of
magnesium diboride, a material known since the early 1950s but only recently discovered to …

Experimental support is found for the multiband model of the superconductivity in the
recently discovered system MgB 2 with the transition temperature T c= 39 K. By means of …

This review focuses on the superconducting properties of MgB 2 that are relevant for power
applications. The reversible mixed state parameters are the most important, since they …

The newly discovered 39-K superconductor MgB2 holds great promise for superconducting
electronics. Like the conventional superconductor Nb, MgB2 is a phonon-mediated …

We review the current situation in the theory of superconducting and transport properties of
MgB2. First principle calculations of the electronic structure and electron–phonon coupling …

The anisotropy γ of the superconducting state of high quality single crystals of MgB 2 was
determined, using torque magnetometry with two different methods. The anisotropy of the …

The electronic properties of the carbon-substituted MgB 2 single crystals are reported. The
carbon substitution drops T c below 2 K. In-plane resistivity shows a remarkable increase in …

We report on the study of the electronic anisotropy of the MgB 2 superconductor using the in-
plane resistivity measurements in the magnetic field applied perpendicular and parallel to …

The basic physical properties of MgB2 have been well established over the past two years of
intensive research. At this point there is a general consensus about the values for the …
