Abstract

We have investigated the normal-state and superconducting properties of Co-doped BaFe₂As₂ (Ba122) and MgB₂ thin films irradiated at room temperature using a 30 keV focused He⁺ ion beam with doses between 10¹²and 10¹⁷ cm². We show that superconductivity is suppressed and the normal-state resistivity is increased upon irradiation. The critical dose for the complete suppression of superconductivity is ∼5 -10¹⁴ cm^-2 for Ba122 and ∼8 -10¹⁵ cm^-2 for MgB₂. The dependence of the normal-state and superconducting properties on irradiation dose is discussed, taking into account the spatial distribution of ion-induced damage. Hillock formation due to the substrate swelling, arising from the He⁺ ions stopped in the substrate, is also observed. The findings provide guidelines for exploiting focused He⁺ ion beam irradiation in fabricating iron pnictide and MgB₂ planar Josephson junctions.
