Influence of disordering by low-temperature neutron irradiation of the superconducting transition temperature of Nb3Sn
Description
The superconducting transition temperature I/sub c/ of a Nb3Sn diffusion wire has been studied as a function of low-temperature neutron irradiation (T = 10K). T/sub c/ is observed to be essentially constant until the fast neutron dose phiT (for neutron energies E > 0.1 MeV) exceeds a value of 1018 N/cm2 after this value T/sub c/ decreases linearly with phiT up to the maximum applied dose of 1.05 x 1019 N/cm2. Comparison with theory and other experimental data indicates that radiation-induced disorder is the primary mechanism for the observed T/sub c/ changes. 43 refs
