Abstract
We have fabricated (Sr,K)Fe2As2 superconducting wire through a powder-in-tube method that is combined with a hot isostatic pressing technique. The transport J c in the wire at 4.2 K has reached 1.0 × 105 A cm-2 under self-field, and 9.4 × 10 3 A cm-2 at 100 kOe. This is the first report that the transport Jc reaches 1 × 105 A cm-2 in a (Sr,K)Fe2As2 round wire. Magneto-optical imaging of the wire has confirmed the large intergranular critical current density in the wire core. The microstructure and compositional analyses imply that there is room for improvement of the Jc value through the optimization of the wire fabrication process.
