Superconducting BiSrCaCuO thin films containing both low-T_c, 80 K phase and high-T_c, 108 K phase material were irradiated with 100 keV Ar ions up to 4 × 10^<17> ions/cm^2 at 10 K and 300 K. In-situ resistivity measurements revealed that in the early stage of Ar ion irradiation at 10 K the superconducting state of the films was maintained, but was destroyed after prolonged irradiation to a dose of 1 × 10<15> ions/cm^2. The normal-state resistivity of the high-T_c. phase increased with ion dose at a smaller rate than that of the low-T_c phase. A thermal spike model was suggested in which the constituent atoms are thermally activated to rearrange themselves and form high-T_c phase embryos under the irradiated conditions. The growth of the high-T_c. embryos occurred efficiently by subsequent annealing at 700∼730℃, improving the high-T_c. phase ratio markedly.
