Np. Shabanova et al., UPPER CRITICAL-FIELD AND RESISTIVE DATA OF HIGH-T-C FILMS IRRADIATED BY HE++ IONS, Physica. C, Superconductivity, 235, 1994, pp. 1355-1356
He++ ion irradiation effect on resistive characteristics and upper cri
tical field H-c2(T) of YBa2CU3O7 and HoBa2Cu3O7 c-axis oriented films
has been studied. Analyzing the normal states resistivity modification
and T-c degradation with fluence F, we estimated the Hc(2)(T) change
in GLAG theory. The -dH(c2)/dT rise with F has been found. The measure
d resistive transition midpoint shift T-cH-T-c in magnetic field prove
s higher, then one found from the estimated H-c2(T). So, the transitio
n broadening has been found to be the main effect, determining the T-c
H-T-c, at least for high fluences.
