摘要
We report on the evolution of superconductivity in the PuCo1-xRhxGa(5) system (x = 0, 0.5, 0.9, 1) as a function of the self-radiation damages induced by the Pu alpha-decay. We observe a faster decrease of the critical temperature with ageing in PuRhGa5 than in PuCoGa5, that we correlate to the different values of the coherence length in the respective compounds. The upper critical field H-c2(0) and the critical current density Jc show more complex variations and are first enhanced due to efficient pinning induced by self-radiation damage, before decreasing. This change of regime is interpreted in the frame of the clean/dirty limit description.
