Abstract
The effect of point defects created by Ξ³βirradiation and extended defects created by Pbβion irradiation on the behavior of the critical current density, J~c~ in several superconductors have been investigated. We have found a limitation of the role of both types of defects on enhancing J~c~. We report an explanation of the effect of Ξ³βirradiation and Pbβion irradiation doses on J~c~ in these materials. The explanation is based on combining several competing mechanisms of irradiation which we believe to take place mainly in the regions of the grain boundaries. The influences of these mechanisms were found to vary with the irradiation dose level. (Β© 2008 WILEYβVCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

Evidence is now emerging of a universal defect behaviour in A-15 compounds which has considerable importance to the superconducting as well as the normal state behaviour. The susceptibility of these materials to the defect formation may be another manifestation of their structural instability. While
A model is proposed and calculated for the elastic interactions between two single point defects, between string-clusters with single point defects, and between platelet-clusters with single defects. The analysis of the elastic model shows no interactions between single defects but appreciable inter
