Radiation damage was simulated in multiphase titanate-based ceramic waste forms using an ion accelerator to generate high energy alpha particles (He⁺) and an ion implanter to generate 7 MeV gold (Au³⁺) particles. X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy were used to characterize the damaged surfaces and nearby regions. Simulated multiphase ceramic waste forms were prepared using two processing methods: spark plasma sintering and melt-processing. Both processing methods produced ceramics with similar phase assemblages consisting of hollandite-, zirconolite/pyrochlore-, and perovskite- type phases. The measured heavy ion (Au³⁺) penetration depth was less in spark plasma sintered samples than in melt-processed samples. Furthermore, structural breakdown of the hollandite phase occurred under He⁺ irradiation indicated by the presence of x-ray diffraction peaks belonging to TiO₂, BaTiO₅, and other hollandite related phases (Ba₂Ti₉O₂₀). The composition of the constituent hollandite phase affected the extent of damage induced by Au³⁺ ions.
