TLDR
In this article, the superconducting critical temperature of Li-irradiation of O-rich Bi(2.2.1.2) with excess oxygen and O-content less than the optimum was investigated.Abstract:
Radiation damage in Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ or Bi(2 2 1 2) by 55 MeV Li3+-beam has been studied from electrical resistivity and X-ray diffraction characterizations. This irradiation increases electrical resistivity and broadens X-ray diffraction lines by generating defects in all samples. But superconducting critical temperature, Tc, is seen to increase for Bi(2 2 1 2) with excess oxygen and decrease for Bi(2 2 1 2) with O-content less than the optimum, that gives maximum Tc. This increase of the superconducting critical temperature on Li-irradiation of O-rich Bi(2 2 1 2) as well as the decrease for low-O Bi(2 2 1 2) is due to O-displacement. This is in agreement with our earlier He-irradiation results.read more

TL;DR: In this paper, the static magnetic susceptibility of hole-doped oxide superconductors was studied as a function of oxygen content over the temperature range 2-900 K, and a correlation was observed between the magnitude of T c ( y ) and the temperature dependence of the normal-state magnetic susceptibility.

TL;DR: A substantial increase in the transition temperature has been noted in Bi 2 Sr 2 CaCu 2 O x superconductor after irradiation with 20 MeV alpha particles as mentioned in this paper, probably due to oxygen removal from an oxygen rich superconducting phase.

Positronium formation in (Bi/BiPb)-2212 and -2223 superconductors
TL;DR: Positron annihilation lifetime (PAL) measurements on well-characterized pellets of Bi-2212, (Bi,Pb)-2212 and Bi-Pb-2223 superconductors indicate the presence of a very long (around 1500 ps) third lifetime.
