Abstract

The influence of shock-wave pressure treatment up to 65 GPa on the crystal structure and the superconducting transition temperature of a polycrystalline MgB2 sample has been investigated. X-ray diffraction measurements have revealed that the shock-wave pressure does not result in any irreversible structural phase transitions in the MgB2, except for microdistortions formed in the crystal structure of the shock-wave pressure-treated MgB2 sample. This conclusion is in agreement with the results of superconducting transition temperature measurements of a MgB2 sample performed before and after its shock-wave pressure treatment.
