Abstract
In this work as-grown YBCO single crystals were irradiated using the r adiation of a Mo anticathode as a X-ray source. The effects of X-ray i rradiation were investigated in order to improve the oxygen enrichment during the subsequent annealing in O-2. X-ray irradiation was found t o have a favourable effect on the homogeneity in the oxygen enrichment of the samples, as stated by the high reproducibility of resistance m easurements carried out on specimens grown, irradiated and annealed un der the same conditions.
