Description

Heavy ion 58Ni MeV ion irradiation at room temperature of high Tc Bi1.7Pb0.35Sr2Ca2Cu3O10+x is reported. We show through in-situ resistivity measurements that at low fluence, formation of stable Frenkel pairs takes place together with possible defect annealing. The changes in Tc at low fluence is not appreciable. This is possibly a result of chemical substitution of Cu by ni, a technique suitable to engineer new materials for potential applications.
