Polycrystalline pellets of the sesquioxide Dy₂O₃ were irradiated at cryogenic temperature with Kr⁺⁺ ions to a fluence of 1 × 10²⁰ Kr/m². The crystal structure of the irradiated Dy₂O₃ was observed to change from a cubic, so-called C-type rare-earth sesquioxide structure to a monoclinic, B-type rare-earth sesquioxide structure upon ion irradiation. This transformation is accompanied by a decrease in molecular volume (or density increase) of approximately 9%.
