Jr. Jin et al., INVESTIGATION OF EFFECT AND MECHANISMS OF SLOW-NEUTRON IRRADIATION ONHIGH-T(C) SUPERCONDUCTORS, Science in China. Series A, Mathematics, Physics, Astronomy & Technological Sciences, 36(3), 1993, pp. 376-384
The irradiation effect of slow neutrons at low fluence on high-T(c) su
perconductors and its mechanism are presented. Based on an analysis an
d comparison of irradiation effects by fast and slow neutrons from the
viewpoint of nuclear physics, a novel mechanism in great contrast to
that by fast neutron irradiation is proposed. It was both experimental
ly and theoretically shown that slow neutrons of low fluence and fast
neutrons of high fluence have the similar irradiation effects on high-
T(c) superconductors.
