MgB2 samples were prepared by using 96% boron (B) powder with strong crystalline phase that had been ball milled for various times. We observed samples that contained ball-milled 96% B in comparison with one made from as-supplied commercial 96% B; with the results showing a significant enhancement in the high field critical current density (Jc) due to small grain size and better reactivity. Specifically; many grain boundaries for MgB2 could be acting as strong flux pinning centers. Based on Rowell connectivity analysis; when the ball-milling time increased; the connectivity factor; described as the active cross-sectional area fraction (AF); was decreased. This implies that the intergrain connectivity became worse. These properties could lead to poor Jc in low field. However; the pinning force strength; Jc; 1/2; ×; B1/4; of samples using ball-milled 96% B is larger than that of the reference sample using commercial 96% B powder. These results accompany enhanced irreversibility (Hirr) and upper critical fields (Hc2). © 2008 American Institute of Physics;
