Electron irradiation of YBa2Cu3O7 at low temperatures

Description

Bulk samples of YBa2Cu3O(7-x) have been homogeneously irradiated with 3 MeV electrons at temperatures below 20 K. Whereas the superconducting transition temperature, Tc, drops dramatically with increasing dose, the width of the transition remains unchanged. The normal state resistance at 100 K increases substantially during the electron irradiation. Several irreproducible experiments can be interpreted with a radiation-induced, unstable increase of Tc. 9 references
