The goal of this work is providing a comprehensive interpretation framework for the wide and varied experimental phenomenology of the Seebeck effect in MgB2 samples with different levels of doping in either pi or sigma bands and different levels of disorder, using a combined experimental and theoretical approach. We calculate the temperature...

In this letter, we present the effect of neutron irradiation up to fluences of 1.431020 cm−2 on the superconducting properties of MgB2. In order to obtain a homogeneously distributed disorder, the experiment was carried out on bulk samples prepared with the 11B isotope. Up to fluences of 1018 cm−2, the critical temperature sTcd is slightly...
