In this study, as much as 10 and 15 wt.% nanosized silicon and carbon (Si+C) were reacted with (Mg+2B) at 650°C and 850°C, respectively, for 1 hour. The phase formation, surface morphology and superconducting properties of these samples were evaluated. The relative peak intensity as calculated from...
