Abstract

Partially-oriented MgB₂ bulk discs (13 and 9 %) with the starting compositions of (MgB₂)_0.99(B₄C)_0.01 and (MgB₂)_0.99(c-BN)_0.01 were fabricated by slip casting under an H₀ = 12 T magnetic field (perpendicular to the disc surface) and subsequent spark plasma sintering. The maximum critical current density and irreversibility field are for H//H₀ (H=applied field). These values are higher or similar to the randomly-oriented samples with the same composition. The maximum volume pinning force (F_p) is lower in the partially-oriented ones than in the randomly-oriented samples. The pinning-force-related parameters depend on the additive and orientation. Assessment of the major pinning mechanism within the scaling and percolation models considering these parameters shows significant limitations. A method to scale F_p is proposed; for the randomly and partially-oriented samples (that show an extra peak in F_p), the single and double Gaussian functions fit well. The results suggest an anisotropic influence of carbon substituting for boron in the MgB₂.
