Abstract

Large-scale single crystalline MgB₂ tubelike nanostructures were successfully prepared by thermal evaporation of MgB₂ particles precursors without involvement of template or patterned catalyst. The inner diameter, outer diameter and length of the as-fabricated single MgB₂ nanotube (NT) are respectively about 30 nm, 90 nm and several tens of microns. Existence of superconductivity within the products is confirmed by AC and DC magnetic susceptibility at low temperatures. The work represents the achievement to produce the bulk superconductivity with the hollow-structured morphology. Synthesis of MgB₂ NTs with bulk superconductivity may open up new possibilities for the fundamental understanding of the effect of dimensionality on superconductivity. Crown
