Spray pyrolyzed T1(1223) films deposited on polycrystalline YSZ substrates are characterized before and after heavy ion irradiation. A factor of 2 decrease in zero field critical current is observed. However, significantly improved critical current is found at fields above 1 T, where intragranular effects dominate. The irreversibility line at 5 T is shifted by [similar to]20 K to higher temperatures. Scaling of the data before and after irradiation and at different temperatures is modeled by an expression which interpolates between single vortex pinning and collective creep.
