Abstract

A superconductor ceramic oxide with the Y₁Ba₂Cu₃O₇-_x phase and exhibiting a transition temperature at T_c⋍ 92 K, was irradiated at room temperature with 1 MeV electrons. It was found that the irradiation produces a sharp drop in the T_c value from 92 K down to — 40 K. The irradiated sample suffered a change from metallike character to semiconductor like behavior at T> T_c. It is also shown that after irradiation the twin boundaries on the material become irregular.
