In this study, nanosize Silicon and Carbon (Si+C) were reacted with MgB2 in order to enhance the critical current density. The polycrystalline bulks were synthesized by the direct in situ reaction method and their phase formation, crystal structure, and superconducting properties were evaluated. The...
