Abstract
Change in magnetic properties of Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+y(Bi-2212) single crystals due to Kr20+ ion irradiation is reported, focused on critical current density and irreversibility magnetic field. The Bi-2212 single crystal specimens (3×3×0.3mm3) were prepared by the floating zone method. Each specimen was irradiated with 520MeV Kr20+ ions. The irradiation fluence range of 1010–1011 cm-2. Magnetic hysteresis was measured at 4.2K–60K with a vibrating sample magnetometer before and after irradiation. Very large enhancement was observed in critical current density and irreversibility magnetic field above 20K.
