Jc Enhancement in Melt Textured YBCO with Different 211 Content by Fast Neutron Irradiation
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 18 March 2011
Abstract
Melt textured YBCO samples with and without 211 inclusions were irradiated by fast neutrons. The enhancement of the critical current density was studied as a function of the 211 content by means of SQUID magnetometry at temperatures from 5 to 77 K and magnetic fields from 0 to 8 T. The highest enhancement factor, found at 77 K and 1.5 T for a 211-free sample, is 27. The enhancement is less effective for samples with 211 inclusions. However, the critical current densities after irradiation show a similar temperature and field dependence in all samples. The role of the initial microstructure on the radiation effects is discussed.
