The quest for nanoscaling has extended beyond traditional metal oxides (1-4) and metal
(0),(5) as exemplified by the huge development of “quantum dots” chalcogenide …

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 …

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

This review focuses on the most important features of the 40 K superconductor MgB 2—the
weakly interacting multiple bands (the σ and π bands) and the distinct multiple …

Superconducting thin films of magnesium diboride (MgB 2) were prepared on various
substrates [SrTiO 3 (001), sapphire R, sapphire C and Si (111)] by molecular beam epitaxy …

Hybrid physical–chemical vapor deposition (HPCVD) has been the most effective technique
for depositing MgB2 thin films. It generates high magnesium vapor pressures and provides a …

Magnesium diboride, MgB2, which was discovered to be a superconductor with a transition
temperature c of 39 K in 2YY1 [1], shows a unique property of being a clear example of a …

Mg‐based hydrogen storage materials have drawn considerable attention as the solution for
hydrogen storage and transportation due to their high hydrogen storage density, low cost …

We have used two polytypes of silicon carbide single crystals, 4H-SiC and 6H-SiC, as the
substrates for MgB 2 thin films grown by hybrid physical-chemical vapor deposition …

We report a new in situ reactive deposition thin film growth technique for the production of
MgB 2 thin films which offers several advantages over all existing methods and is the first …
