Abstract

We report systematic studies of the dc transport properties in proton-irradiated Y-Ba-Cu-O single crystals. We find that the onset of vortex dissipation in moderately irradiated samples is associated with the occurrence of a second-order vortex-solid melting transition. In addition, the decreasing zero-field transition temperature and increasing critical current density with the increasing defects reveal the effects of disorder on reducing the electron mean-free-path and on increasing the pinning density.
