The Tl-Ba-Ca-Cu-O class of type-II high temperature superconductors (HTS) have Tc's as high as 125K. Although they have good critical current values, when a field is applied the weak pinning and consequent flow of magnetic vortices are a major impediment to the usefulness of these materials. Ion irradiation has been shown to enhance the pinning. High quality single crystals, as determined with x-ray precession and HRTEM, with sharp HTS Meissner signals, were irradiated with 1.5 MeV Kr+ and Xe+ ions using the HVEM-Tandem facility at Argonne National Laboratory. Ion beam microstructural modification was studied in-situ using electron diffraction and after irradiation using HRTEM and nano-beam EDS on Tl-1212 and Tl-2212 (numbers designate the stoichiometry Tl-Ba- Ca-Cu-O) single-crystal HTS. After irradiation, microstructure was studied using the JEOL 2010 in the Earth and Planetary Science Department at the University of New Mexico in order to characterize the resulting irradiation-induced nano-size precipitates.

AbstractMicrostructural modification of high temperature superconductor (HTS) single-crystal plates of T1-1212 and T1-2212 (numbers designate the Tl/Ba/Ca/Cu cation ratio) was studied during 1.5 MeV Kr+ and Xe+ ion irradiation with in-situ electron diffraction and after ion irradiation with high resolution TEM (HRTEM). Similar in-situ temperature dependence effects are seen for both phases. During irradiations from 22K to 673K, an amorphous halo develops after very low ion dose or fluence (l.7X1012 ions/cm2). During irradiation at 100K and 300K, complete amorphization is obtained, while at 22K and ≥533K, the halo fades slightly and a polycrystalline ring pattern develops, indicating ion irradiation induced crystallization occurred. After a low ion dose (8.5XlO12ions/cm2) at 100K and 300K, HRTEM reveals amorphous regions 5 -20 nm in size which are not columnar and do not all penetrate the entire sample thickness. At 22K and ≥533K, Moire fringes and misoriented crystallites of cascade size are observed. The 4 - 6nm crystallites are thallium-rich.
