METHOD FOR SYNTHESIZING SUPERCONDUCTING BORIDE MgB2 FROM MELT BY ELECTRODEPOSITION

摘要

PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for synthesizing MgBSB2/SBin a thin film from a melt by electrodeposition using a simple device structure. PSOLUTION: The method for synthesizing the superconducting boride MgBSB2/SBfrom a melt by electrodeposition comprises depositing a thin film or a wire of MgBSB2/SBon an electrode from a melt of MgBSB2/SB. The melt consists of a mixture of magnesium halide and magnesium borofluoride, and an alkali metal or magnesium borate. Metallic electrodes that are stable to the melt such as Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Pd, Ag, Pt or Au, or non-metallic electrodes that are chemically stable to the melt such as graphite, highly doped silicon or tin oxides are used as the electrode materials.
