Nm. Hamdan et al., ANISOTROPIC CHANGES INDUCED BY ION IRRADIATION ON BI-BASED HIGH T(C) SUPERCONDUCTORS, Solid state communications, 87(12), 1993, pp. 1129-1131
(Bi,Pb)2Sr2Ca2Cu3O10 high T(c) superconducting samples were subject to
irradiation by 7 MeV Si ions. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that
the intensity of the (00l) peaks decrease rapidly with ion irradiation
, while that of the mixed index peaks (hkl) changes very little. The a
-parameter decreases first then increases with ion fluence while the c
-parameter increase continuously with ion irradiation.
