Abstract

Experiments on the irradiation-induced suppression of the critical temperature in high-T c superconductors are analyzed within the mean-field Abrikosov-Gor’kov-like approach. It is shown that the experimental data for YBa2Cu3O7-δ single crystals can be quantitatively explained by the pair-breaking effects under the assumption of the combined effect of potential and spin-flip scattering on the critical temperature and with an accounting for a nonpure d-wave superconducting order parameter.
