Moessbauer spectroscopy of {sup 57}Fe in {alpha}-Al{sub 2}O{sub 3} following implantation of {sup 57}Mn{sup *}

Abstract

The valence state and annealing reactions of Mn/Fe in single crystalline {alpha}-Al{sub 2}O{sub 3} have been determined following low fluence (<10{sup 12} cm{sup - 2}) 60 keV implantations of {sup 57}Mn{sup + } (T{sub 1/2} = 1.5 min) and emission Moessbauer spectroscopy on the {sup 57m}Fe daughter nuclei in the temperature range from 110-700 K. At 110 K, most probe atoms are found in the Fe{sup 2 + } state in amorphous surroundings due to the implantation damage. A fraction of the Fe is found in cubic environment, possibly nano-precipitates of {eta}-Al{sub 2}O{sub 3}. This site is found to disappear from the spectra above 500 K. Annealing of the damage sites at increasing temperatures leads first to increased incorporation of the probe atoms as Fe{sup 3 + } on Al sites, and, above room temperature, also as Fe{sup 4 + }. The Fe{sup 3 + } sub-spectrum is masked by slow paramagnetic relaxations following a T{sup 2} dependence, as expected for a two-phonon Raman process. Our data is consistent with data from {sup 57}Co and {sup 57}Fe implantations, suggesting a general increase in the average Fe valence state with lower implantation dose and negligible annealing reactions at room temperature.
