Abstract

Massive superconducting MgB2 nanofibers are obtained for the first time from Mg(BH4)2. The technique optimizes reaction conditions to only 1 h at 460 °C and provides nanofibers which exhibited satisfying superconducting properties. The morphology transformation according to temperature changes and the special mechanism of precursor inductive synthesis are discussed.
