Description

The influence of fast neutron radiation on the transition temperature Tsub(c), upper critical field Hsub(c2), and structural peculiarities of Nb3Sn is investigated. For heavily irradiated samples (doses higher than 1 x 1019 cm-2) drastically reduced values for Tsub(c), Hsub(c2), and degree of long-range order are observed. The appearance of thermal neutron small-angle diffuse scattering and the sharp increase of the transition breadth in irradiated samples show the creation of disordered phase microregions during irradiation.
