dc.description.abstractWe report a significant enhancement of the upper critical field Hc2 of different MgB2 samples alloyed with nonmagnetic impurities. By studying films and bulk polycrystals with different resistivities ρ, we show a clear trend of an increase in Hc2 as ρ increases. One particular high resistivity film had a zero-temperature Hc2(0) well above the Hc2 values of competing non-cuprate superconductors such as Nb3Sn and Nb–Ti. Our high-field transport measurements give record values  T and  T for high resistivity films and  T for untextured bulk polycrystals. The highest Hc2 film also exhibits a significant upward curvature of Hc2(T) and a temperature dependence of the anisotropy parameter opposite to that of single crystals: γ(T)  decreases as the temperature decreases, from to . This remarkable Hc2 enhancement and its anomalous temperature dependence are a consequence of the two-gap superconductivity in MgB2, which offers special opportunities for further Hc2 increases by tuning of the impurity scattering by selective alloying on Mg and B sites. Our experimental results can be explained by a theory of two-gap superconductivity in the dirty limit. The very high values of Hc2(T) observed suggest that MgB2 can be made into a versatile, competitive high-field superconductor.en_US
