Abstract
We report the upper critical field (Hc2), the irreversibility field (Hirr), and the lower critical field (Hc1) of a dense polycrystalline MgB2 superconductor which was prepared by the spark plasma sintering (SPS). The isothermal magnetizations M(H) of MgB 2 sample was measured at temperatures between 5 and 50 K in fields up to 8 T. The Hc2(T) data were well fitted to the BCS-type function Hc2(T) = Hc2(0)[1 - (T/Tc)α] β, with Hc2(0) = 8.5 T, α = 1.60 and β = 1.15. The Hirr (melting line) could be described by the power-law relation Hirr(T) = Hirr(0)[1 - (T/Tc)] n with n = 1.10 and Hirr(0) = 8.1 T. The deduced values of Hc1 approximately followed a linear temperature dependence, not following a parabolic dependence of Hc1(T) = Hc1(0)[1 - (T/Tc)2].
