N2 - A series of polycrystalline samples of Mg1-x(Zn0.5Al0.5)(x)B-2 (0less than or equal toxless than or equal to0.8) were prepared by solid state reaction method and their structure, superconducting transition temperature (T-c) and transport properties were investigated by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), ac susceptibility, magnetization and resistivity. The double doping leads to decreases in both the lattice parameters a and c, and the T-c decreases with increasing dopant content. A systematical comparison with Al doped- and Li, Al double doped MgB2 of structure, superconducting transition and critical current density (J(c)) is made. It is suggested that the chemical pressure effect plays a more important role influencing the normal state transport and T-c than the change of carrier concentration, and the introduction of disorder into the Mg layers shows little influence improving the irreversibility field and J(c).
