Abstract

The resistivity measurements of bulk super-conducting oxides La2−xSrxCuO4−x/2+ 〈0.15〈x〈0.2) irradiated by 2.5 Mev-electrons and YBa2Cu3O7-δ 〈0〈δ〈0.15) irradiated by 2.9 GeU-krypton ions have shown a regular and constant decrease of the critical temperature Tc as a function of the fluence.

On the contrary, an increase of Tc has been observed durino irradiation of super-conduct ino La2CuO4 compound by 2.9 GeV-krypton ions, which saturates at Tc/Tco = 0.1 for fluences hioher than 3.1012 Kr.cm. The evolution of the R(T) curves during irradiation is very similar to the one observed under Dressure.

A comparison of the variations of Tc as a function of the number of di solacements oer atom for various particles (n. e. He+. O. Kr) suggests that the hijjh electronic stoppino power of the heavy ions could be the main factor of damage.
