Abstract
We synthesized single crystalline MgB2 under ambient pressure by using conventional materials and equipment. The single crystals of MgB2 were of good quality, where the crystal structure refinements were successfully converged with R=0.020. The measurements of the magnetic properties yielded a sharp superconducting transition at 38 K with transition width ΔTc=0.8K. The upper critical field for applied field parallel to the ab plane (Hc2ab) reveals a positive curvature, while Hc2 parallel to the c axis (Hc2c) increases linearly in temperature dependence, which yields a temperature dependence of the superconducting anisotropy ratio of γ=Hc2ab/Hc2c with γ∼1 near Tc and 4.0 at 25 K.
