Abstract

500-keV protons were implanted into ceramic YBa2Cu3O7−x (Y-Ba-Cu-O) at doses of 1×1015 to 2×1017 H+ cm−2. The proton-implanted Y-Ba-Cu-O was annealed in oxygen at temperatures of 400°C to 700°C for 90 min to restore superconducting properties destroyed by proton implantation. The resistivities at a temperature of 100 K and the critical temperatures of the annealed proton-implanted Y-Ba-Cu-O depended on the implant dose of protons and the annealing temperature. The critical temperatures decreased as the resistivities at 100 K increased. A critical temperature of 91 K, higher than 87 K of as-sintered Y-Ba-Cu-O, was obtained for ceramic Y-Ba-Cu-O annealed at 500 °C for 90 min after implantation at an implant dose of 1×1017 H+ cm−2.
