The effects of nano addition to superconducting properties of processed superconductors was examined. 0.1 wt.% and 1 wt.% nano powders were mixed with boron and magnesium powders by ball milling. The powder mixtures were made into pellets by uniaxial pressing. The pellets were heat-treated at in argon atmosphere for formation. It was found by powder X-ray diffraction that the raw powders were completely converted into after the heat treatment. The superconducting transition temperature () and critical current density (), estimated from susceptibility-temperature and curves, were decreased by nano addition. The and decrease by nano addition are attributed to the incorporation of iron and carbon with lattices (Fe substitution for Mg and C substitution for B) due to the high reactivity of the nano powder.

Au/Si(100) Schotty diode를 l00k~300k 온도범위에서 current voltage(I-V), capacitance-voltage(C-V)측정을 하였다. 얻어진 Schottky barrier height(SBH)갑은 실온에서 두측정값 모두 (0.79±0.02)eV 이다. 그러나 온도가 감소할수록 I-V측정에서 SBH는 선형적으로 감소하고 C-V측정에서 SBH는 온도에 따른 변화가 관찰되지 않았다. 이것은 낮은 온도에서 열이온 방출 이론을 따르지 않는다는 것을 나타낸다. 이것으로 재결합 전류를 고려하여 계산해 본 결과 I-V에서도 SBH의 변화가 관찰되지 않으므로 C-V측정과 일치됨을 보았다. 이런 상반된 결과를 가져오는 이유는 전류수송현상이 온도에 따라 변화하므로 생긴 것임을 알 수 있었다.
