Low flux neutron irradiation of ceramic YBa/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub 7-y/

Abstract

Pellets of the sintered ceramic, YBa/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub 7-y/, with three different oxygen contents, were irradiated with 6.5, 3.3 and 4.4 MeV fast neutron beams at fluences of 7.7*10/sup 5/, 1.3*10/sup 5/ and 1.4*10/sup 9/ n per square cm respectively. Radiation damage was investigated by comparing values of critical temperature (Tc-mid), zero resistivity and onset temperatures before and after neutron radiation. Critical current, as a function of temperature, was measured for some samples under the same experimental conditions. For all transport measurements, the different responses to the neutron radiation were observed and discussed.
