Abstract

Melt-textured YBa₂Cu₃O_x crystals have been irradiated along the c-axis with ²⁰⁸pb⁵⁶⁺ ions corresponding to dose matching fields, B_Φ = 0.5 T and 5 _Φ = 2.0 T. Magnetization measurements were conducted along the ab plane of the samples. The strength of pinning sites was investigated by measuring magnetization hysterisis and the saturation remanent magnetization M_R at several temperatures. We have found that the pinning strength was considerably enhanced after irradiation at both doses. Interestingly, the pinning strength at a Pbion irradiation which corresponds to the dose matching field B_Φ = 0.5 T, was found to be significantly larger than that at the dose matching field B_Φ = 2.0 T at all temperatures.
