  • The critical current density at 4.2 and 20 K up to 15 T and the temperature dependence of the irreversible field have been studied in magnesium diboride wires and bulks prepared from boron without and with carbon addition. Structural investigations using X-ray microprobe analysis have been performed. A monofilamentary wire with a round-shaped core manufactured from boron containing 2 mol.% carbon (approximate composition of its matrix MgB1.8–2.4O0.04–0.71C0.12–0.16) demonstrated Jc(20 K, 2 T) = 105 A/cm2 , Jc(4.2 K, 15 T) = 2 × 103 A/сm 2 and Birr (20 K) = 8 T, Birr(12.5 K) = 15 T. Bulk material synthesized at 2 GPa, 600 °C, 1 h from carbon doped boron demonstrated Jc(10 K, 10 T) = 4 × 103 A/сm 2 and Jc(20 K, 6 T) = 4 × 103 A/сm 2
