Abstract
As previous experience would suggest, ion beams have contributed to progress in high- T C superconductivity research primarily in four ways. Ion beams have been employed for (1) analyzing composition and structural details, including phonon properties; (2) fabricating thin-film specimens; (3) modifying properties for specific applications; and (4) performing fundamental irradiation effects studies. Examples of these contributions are presented in this brief summary, and the success of different approaches is evaluated. The emphasis is on the use of intermediate (50–500 keV) and higher (0.5–10 MeV) energy ion beams; space limitations preclude covering the wide range of activities that have occurred in any detail. Substantial contributions from ion-beam techniques to the rapid progress that has occurred in high- T C research are clearly evident.
