Abstract
Critical exponent of the electrical conductivity in the paracoherence region (gamma) of the high temperature superconductor YBa2Cu3O7-x (YBC O) has been estimated for high quality thin film on ZrO2 substrate pre pared by high pressure oxygen sputtering. High energy ion irradiation was carried out using 100 MeV O-16(7+) ions at liquid nitrogen to see the effects of disorder on the value of the exponent. The critical exp onent from a value of about 2 to 1.62 upon irradiation. Studies were a lso carried film to see the effect of ageing and annealing.
