Abstract

MgB₂ tapes with Al addition were fabricated by powder in tube (PIT) method. The superconducting property and microstructure of Al doped MgB₂ tapes were investigated with X-ray diffraction, optical microscopy and magnetic measurements. The J_c value of MgB₂ tapes was increased with Al addition. The J_c-B curves show enhancement in J_c(B), which suggests that the microstructure and transport properties of MgB₂ tapes have been improved with Al addition.
