In this paper we report the effect of carbon doping on the structural and superconducting properties of MgB₂ using citric and oxalic acids as carbon sources. The bulk polycrystalline samples have been synthesized via a standard solid state reaction route with composition MgB₂+x wt% of citric and oxalic acids (x = 0, 5 and 10). The x-ray diffraction results reveal the formation of dominantly MgB₂ with only a small amount of impurity phase MgO and substitution of C at the B site of MgB₂ for both dopants. Improvements in the upper critical field (HC2), irreversibility field (Hirr) and high field (>2.5 T) critical current density (JC) have been observed on C doping in the samples. The correlations between superconducting properties and structural characteristics of the samples are described and discussed in this paper.
