Neutron irradiation is one of the methods to improve the transport properties of superconductors by creating defects for flux pinning centers. In this work, the effects of fast neutron irradiation on (Bi1.6Pb0.4)Sr2Ca2Cu3O10 (Bi-2223) superconductor were studied. The samples were prepared using the...
