Description:

Partially oriented MgB2 bulk discs (13 and 9 %) with starting compositions (MgB2)0.99(B4C)0.01 and (MgB2)0.99(c-BN)0.01 were fabricated by slip casting under a magnetic field H0=12T (perpendicular on the surface of the disc) 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 than for the randomly oriented samples with the same composition. The maximum volume pinning force (Fp) is lower in the partially than in randomly oriented samples. The pinning-force-related parameters depend on the additive and orientation and establishing the major pinning mechanism based on them within scaling and percolation models is not reliable. A method to scale Fp is proposed: for the randomly and partially oriented samples (that show an extra peak in Fp) single and double Gauss functions fit well. Results suggest an anisotropic influence of carbon substituting for boron in MgB2.
