Notes:
Detailed measurements have been made of the magnetic field (0〈H〈6 T) and temperature (10 K〈T〈100 K) dependencies of the critical current density jc in Tl2CaBa2Cu2O8 films before and after irradiation with incremental fluences (0〈Φ〈3×1016 cm−2) of 2 MeV protons. The results are interpreted quantitatively in terms of radiation-induced changes in (1) the critical temperature, (2) the rate of thermal flux creep, and (3) local scale superconductivity. Radiation-induced enhancements in jc are described by an expression which allows the fluence that maximizes jc to be predicted as a function of H, T, pinning energy, and particle type.
