Abstract
Bi2Sr2CaCu2Oy crystals were irradiated by Co-60 gamma-rays at a dose r ate of 6 kGy/h up to 7.2, 60 and 648 kGy, respectively, at room temper ature. X-ray photoemission spectroscopy results reveal that the core-l evel binding energy of strontium shifts to higher energy with increasi ng the gamma-ray dose. Corresponding to these results, the superconduc ting transition temperature T-c unchanged at low dose, then increased with dose and decreased at 648 kGy. The shift of core-level binding en ergy of strontium is related to the change of the hole concentration.
