Insensitivity of YBa2Cu3O(7-x) to ionizing radiation

The high-temperatrue superconductor YBa2Cu3O(7-x) has been irradiated in a transmission electron microscope to investigate the effect of high doses of ionizing energy on the microstructure of this material. Electrons of energies low enough to avoid knock-on displacement damage (80 and 100 keV) were...

Zusammenfassung:The high-temperatrue superconductor YBa2Cu3O(7-x) has been irradiated in a transmission electron microscope to investigate the effect of high doses of ionizing energy on the microstructure of this material. Electrons of energies low enough to avoid knock-on displacement damage (80 and 100 keV) were used to achieve radiation doses of 1 x 10 to the 12th Gy at 115 K and 2 x 10 to the 13th Gy at room temperature. Using the criteria of twin fading and formation of extended defects, no microstructural damage was observed. (Author)
