We report on the results of a comparative investigation of highly dense bulk MgB$_2$ samples prepared by three methods: (i) hot deformation; (ii) high pressure sintering; and (iii) mechanical alloying of Mg and B powders with subsequent hot compaction. All types of samples were studied by ac-susceptibility, dc-magnetization and resistivity measurements in magnetic fields up to $mu_0H=160$ kOe. A small but distinct anisotropy of the upper critical field $H_{c2}^{a,b}/H_{c2}^{c}sim1.2$ connected with some texture of MgB$_2$ grains was found for the hot deformed samples. The samples prepared by high pressure sintering as well as by mechanical alloying show improved superconducting properties, including high upper critical fields $H_{c2}$ ($mu_0H_{c2}(0)sim23$ T), irreversibility fields $H_{irr}$ which are strongly shifted towards higher values $H_{irr}(T)sim0.8H_{c2}(T)$ and high critical current $J_c$ ($J_c=10^5$ A/cm$^2$ at 20 K and 1 T).

The growth mechanisms of MgB2 films obtained by different methods on various substrates are compared via a detailed cross-sectional scanning electron microscopy (SEM) study. The analyzed films include (a) samples obtained by an ex-situ post-anneal at
900 degree of e-beam evaporated boron in the presence of an Mg vapor (exhibiting bulk-like Tc0 about 38.8 K), (b) samples obtained by the same ex-situ 900 degree anneal of pulsed laser deposition (PLD)-grown Mg+B precursors (exhibiting Tc0 ~ 25 K), and (c) films obtained by a low-temperature (600 - 630 degree) in-situ anneal of PLD-grown Mg+B precursors (with Tc0 about 24 K). A significant oxygen contamination was also present in films obtained from a PLD-grown precursors. On the other hand, it is clearly observed that the films obtained by the high-temperature reaction of e-beam evaporated B with Mg vapor are formed by the nucleation of independent MgB2 grains at the film surface, indicating that this approach may not be suitable to obtain smooth and (possibly) epitaxial films.
We investigated a high-quality MgB$_{2}$ thin film with a thickness of $sim$1000 nm on an Al$_{2}$O$_{3}$ substrate using optical spectroscopy. We measured the reflectance spectra of the film at various temperatures both below, and above, the superco
nducting transition temperature, $T_c$ $simeq$ 40 K. An earlier study showed that when the sample surface is exposed to air the optical properties of the surface change immediately, however, the saturated change is negligibly small in the far-infrared region. The optical conductivity spectrum in the normal state shows two (narrow and broad) Drude modes, with the narrow Drude mode being dominant in the low frequency region below 1000 cm$^{-1}$. Our study, which uses a good-quality sample, provides more reliable data on the optical properties of MgB$_2$, in a similar spectral range. The optical data is analyzed further using an extended Drude model, and the electron-phonon spectral density function, $alpha^2F(omega)$, is extracted. The spectral density function $alpha^2F(omega)$ features two peaks: a small one near 114 cm$^{-1}$, and a strong peak around the 550 cm$^{-1}$ where the B-B bond stretching phonon exists. Our data in the superconducting state does not show the expected energy shift of the onset of scattering associated with the $alpha^2F(omega)$ peaks.
A study of the pressure effect on the magnetic penetration depth $lambda$ in polycrystalline MgB$_{2}$ was performed by measuring the temperature dependence of the magnetization under an applied pressure of 0.15 and 1.13 GPa. We found that $lambda^{-
2}$ at low temperature is only slightly affected by pressure [$frac{Delta lambda^{-2}}{lambda^{-2}} = 1.5(9)%$], in contrast to cuprate superconductors, where, in the same range of pressure, a very large effect on $lambda^{-2}$ was found. Theoretical estimates indicate that most of the pressure effect on $lambda^{-2}$ in MgB$_2$ arises from the electron-phonon interaction.
Hydrogen-based compounds under ultra-high pressure, such as the polyhydrides H$_3$S and LaH$_{10}$, superconduct through the conventional electron-phonon coupling mechanism to attain the record critical temperatures known to date. We demonstrate here
that the intrinsic advantages of hydrogen for phonon-mediated superconductivity can be exploited in a completely different system, namely two-dimensional (2D) materials. We find that hydrogen adatoms can strongly enhance superconductivity in 2D materials due to flatband states originating from atomic-like hydrogen orbitals, with a resulting high density of states, and due to the emergence of high-frequency hydrogen-related phonon modes that boost the electron-phonon coupling. As a concrete example, we investigate the effect of hydrogen adatoms on the superconducting properties of monolayer MgB$_2$, by solving the fully anisotropic Eliashberg equations, in conjunction with a first-principles description of the electronic and vibrational states, and the coupling between them. We show that hydrogenation leads to a high critical temperature of 67 K, which can be boosted to over 100 K by biaxial tensile strain.
We report the observation of superconducting vortices in pure and lightly Al doped MgB$_2$ single crystals. Low field experiments allow for the estimation of the London penetration depth, lambda ~ 1900 $AA$ for T$sim$6 K. Experiments in higher fields
(e.g. 200 Oe) clearly show a triangular vortex lattice in both real space (13 $mu$m by 13 $mu$m Bitter decoration image of over 1000 vortices) and reciprocal space.
