Description

The superconducting transition temperature of sintered YBa/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub 7/ decreases at a rate of 2.7 K/10/sup 18/ n/cm/sup 2/ (E > 0.1 MeV) for fast neutron irradiation. The critical current density J/sub c/ increases a factor of three at zero field and more than three at nonzero fields for fluences up to 2 x 10/sup 18/ n/cm/sup 2/. At both 7 and 75 K, J/sub c/ is decreasing with fluence near 3 x 10/sup 18/ n/cm/sup 2/
