  • Abstract
    The above high-temperature superconductors, both with δ⩽1, and with Tc≈92 K, were irradiated with 67.5 MeV electrons at fluences of 1013, 1014, 1015 , and 5×1015 electrons/cm2. After each irradiation, the resistance versus temperature curves were measured using the four-probe resistance technique. Negligible changes in the superconducting transition temperature were seen
