Abstract

LPE-grown YBCO single crystal films were irradiated with oxygen ion beam up to a fluence level of 8 × 1019 cm−2 Irradiation parameters were as follows: , beam energy 0.8 keV, current density 0.4 mA/cm2. Ultimate vacuum was not less than 5 × 10−6 Torr, operating vacuum was 2 × 10−4 Torr. Tc = 53K and transition width ΔT> 10 K characterized the starting state of the films. After irradiation Tc was found to increase up to 94 K and Δ to decrease down to 0.5 K. Proceeding from transition character one can conclude that the irradiated film composition was changing into a single phase one. Half widths of the characteristic peaks of x-ray spectra were decreasing with the increase in fluence. The best results were obtained upon the irradiation of cooled samples. Upon heating the samples up to 600° C it was impossible to obtain Tc = 86 k and ΔT = 2 K.
