Abstract

180 MeV Cu¹¹⁺ irradiation was done on the c‐axis grain oriented Bi₂Sr₂CaCu₂O₈ tapes. Irradiation enhanced hysteresis in dc magnetization curves, especially in high magnetic fields. The irreversibility line can be moved to higher field by irradiation. Transport J_c is also enhanced by the irradiation of the small fluences. The irradiation produced large (∼100 nm) and small (∼5 nm) defects. They are effective for flux pinning in Bi₂Sr₂CaCu₂O₈.
