These elements are however sensitive to the irradiation caused by primary beam as well as by secondary particles, as it is the case for PolFEL. In the paper it is discussed how this irradiation damages the subtle structure of superconducting materials, leading to columnar defects formation in 2D HTc superconductors. It is analysed, in which way created nano-sized structural defects influence the critical current properties of the superconducting materials, in the process of capturing of the magnetic pancake vortices. Various initial positions of the captured vortices are analysed; their movement leads to potential barrier variations. Influence of the irradiation effects on the current-voltage characteristics of superconductors are investigated then and maximal current density detected as the function of irradiation dose, nano-defects size and physical parameters as magnetic field and temperature.
