Vi. Gatalskaya et al., CRITICAL-CURRENT ENHANCEMENT AND FLUX-CREEP IN IRRADIATED YBACUO THICK-FILMS, Physica status solidi. a, Applied research, 140(2), 1993, pp. 527-531
Studies of remanent magnetization (its temperature, field, and time de
pendences for two configurations of magnetic field) carried out on a t
hick YBa2Cu3Oy film grown by the LPE method on NdGaO3 substrate and ir
radiated by fast electrons with fluence of 10(18) cm-2, demonstrate th
at under irradiation the critical currents rise for both directions of
magnetic field, the critical current anisotropy reduces somewhat, the
magnetization relaxation rate decreases, and the effective pinning po
tential value rises in the temperature range from 4.2 to 70 K.
