Description

Studies of the effect of fast neutron damage on the magnetic hysteresis of YBa2Cu3Osub(7-x) ceramic samples subjected to fluence of neutrons of 2x1016 n/cm2 up to 6x1017 n/cm2 have been performed. Irradiation up to dose of 1x1017 did not cause any change in the critical temperature. However it causes a strong increase of the magnetic hysteresis which is presumably connected with the creation of defects. The critical current density at 77 K in H = 10 KOe for the sample irradiated with the dose 1x1017 n/cm2 was estimated to be 520 A/cm2 as compared to 29 A/cm2 for the reference non-irradiated sample.
