Abstract
Carbon (C)-doping has been found to increase the upper critical field HC2 in superconducting MgB2 thin-film and bulk samples. However, the C effects on both HC2 and lattice parameters are very different between thin films and bulk, suggesting C may incorporate differently in the two cases. This paper combines ab initio calculations and thin-film lattice parameter measurements to explore the connection between substitutional and interstitial C in MgB2 and experimental bulk and thin-film lattice parameters.
