- Summary
- The effect of high-energy neutron irradiation (E greater than 1 MeV) at ambient reactor temperatures on the superconducting properties of a variety of superconducting compounds is reported. The materials studied include the A-15 compounds Nb3Sn, Nb3Al, Nb3Ga, Nb3Ge and V3Si, the C-15 Laves phase HfV2, the ternary molybdenum sulfide Mo3Pb0.5S4 and the layered dichalcogenide NbSe2. The superconducting transition temperature has been measured for all of the above materials for neutron fluences up to 5 x 1019 n/cm2. The critical current for multifilamentary Nb3Sn has also been determined for fields up to 16 T and fluences between 3 x 1017 n/cm2 and 1.1 x 1019 n/ cm2. (auth)
