Recent exerimental investigations on high- curates having comositions in the semiconuctor regime, have shown light inuce changes, which are inicative of hoto-inuce suerconuctivity -3. In some cases, there is an increase of the critical temerature with raiation osage 4. he most interesting result is the growth of the absolute value of the iamagnetic moment almost linearly with raiation osage, which saturates beyon a certain stage 4. Yu et al. have shown that the onset of transient hoto-inuce suerconuctivity, at high excitation levels is a real henomenon. * Author for corresonence; anuj_nuwal@yahoo.com; kalraml@yahoo.com; slkakani@yahoo.com
