Abstract

The behavior of electrical resistivity rho(T), temperature of superconducting transition Tc, and upper critical field Hc2(T) of polycrystalline YNi2B2C after irradiation with thermal neutron and subsequent high-temperature isochronous annealings in the temperature range Tann = 100 - 1000C has been studied.

Keywords
