Voltage‐current characteristics at four different applied magnetic fields (7, 20, 30, and 40 mT) of Bi 2 Sr 2 Ca 2 Cu 3 O x superconducting tape were measured in the temperature range from 100 to 115 K. They were also measured at zero magnetic field before and after γ irradiations up to 10 MRad at different temperatures just below the critical temperature. The data were fitted to a power law expression V = I β(T) in which the exponential parameter β under 20 mT field and after irradiation is found to fluctuate around three and then drops to unity near the critical temperature which may be interpreted as a sign of Kosterlitz‐Thouless transition. The electrical properties of the tape were found to be very sensitive to γ irradiation where most of the changes take place in low γ doses. (© 2004 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
