Abstract

The effects of oxygen and helium ion irradiation on the superconducting properties of Tl2Ca2Ba2Cu3010 thin films were investigated. The transition temperature and width were monitored as a function of ion fluence using both magnetization and resistivity measurements. These data suggest that superconductivity is completely suppressed at 0.020 dpa for both He and 0 ion irradiation. Further, the rate of decrease in Tc as a function of deposited energy showed that the dominant mechanism causing damage-induced suppression of Tc in these films was from atomic collisions.
