Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The high cost of using the niobium (Nb) barrier for manufacturing magnesium diboride (MgB 2 ) mono-and multi-filamentary wires for large-scale applications has become one of the barriers to replacing current commercial niobium-titanium superconductors. The potential of replacing the Nb barrier with a low-cost iron (Fe) barrier for multifilament MgB 2 superconducting wires is investigated in this manuscript. Therefore, MgB 2 wires with Fe barrier sintered with different temperatures are studied (from 650 °C to 900 °C for 1 h) to investigate the non-superconducting reaction phase of Fe-B. Their superconducting performance including engineering critical current density ( J e ) and n -value are tested at 4.2 K in various external magnetic fields. The best sample sintered at 650 °C for 1 h has achieved a J e value of 3.64 × 10 4 A cm −2 and an n -value of 61 in 2 T magnetic field due to the reduced formation of Fe 2 B, better grain connectivity and homogenous microstructure. For microstructural analysis, the focused ion beam (FIB) is utilised for the first time to acquire three-dimensional microstructures and elemental mappings of the interface between the Fe barrier and MgB 2 core of different wires. The results have shown that if the sintering temperature can be controlled properly, the J e and n -value of the wire are still acceptable for magnet applications. The formation of Fe 2 B is identified along the edge of MgB 2, as the temperature increases, the content of Fe 2 B also increases which causes the degradation in the performance of wires.
