Title: Synergistic effects of nuclear and electronic energy deposition on damage production in KTaO ₃

Abstract

Ion irradiation of KTaO₃ has been performed to investigate the evolution of irradiation damage with and without significant electronic energy deposition. Damage accumulation under irradiation with 2 MeV Au ions follows a direct-impact/defect-stimulated model, and occurs more rapidly than in SrTiO₃ under similar conditions. Electronic energy deposition from 21 MeV Ni ions creates negligible damage in pristine KTaO₃ to depths of 1 micron; however, damage is greatly enhanced in samples containing pre-existing defects, as evidenced by rapid amorphization due to track formation. The cross-sections for amorphous tracks show a nearly linear dependence on initial disorder, comparable with SrTiO₃.

Near-surface modification of defective KTaO₃ by ionizing ion irradiation

Journal Article Velisa, Gihan ; Zarkadoula, Eva ; Iancu, Decebal ; ... - Journal of Physics. D, Applied Physics

The synergistic effect of nuclear (S_n) and electronic (S_e) energy loss observed in some ABO₃ perovskites has attracted considerable attention due to the real possibility to modify various near-surface properties, such as the electronic and optical properties, by patterning ion tracks in the defective near-surface regions. In this study, we show that low-energy ion-induced disordering in conjunction with ionizing ion irradiation (18 MeV Si, 21 MeV Ni and 91.6 MeV Xe) is a promising approach for tailoring ion tracks in the near-surface of defective KTaO₃. Experimental characterization and computer simulations reveal that the size of these latent ion tracks increasesmore »« less

Nanostructures evolution assessment and spectroscopic properties modification induced by electronic energy loss in KTaO₃ crystal

Journal Article Han, Xinqing ; Zarkadoula, Eva ; Huang, Qing ; ... - Materials & Design

Modifications of micro/nanostructure and photoelectric properties under swift ion irradiation (645 MeV Xe³⁵⁺) of KTaO₃ crystal with varying electronic energy losses (7.2–31.4 keV/nm) and ion velocities (0.18–5.00 MeV/u) have been studied by combining experimental and calculated approaches. The i-TS calculations combined with molecular dynamics simulations are compared with the experimental observations, revealing the inner track fine structures from individual spherical defects to continuous ion tracks with core–shell morphologies, and a quantitative relationship, including the melting (0.42 eV/atom), damage (0.75 eV/atom), and amorphous (1.71 eV/atom) thresholds, is established to successfully predict the inner disorder/amorphous proportions and track damage morphologies.

Molecular dynamics simulations of the response of pre-damaged SrTiO₃ and KTaO₃ to fast heavy ions

Journal Article Zarkadoula, Eva ; Zhang, Yanwen ; Weber, William J. - AIP Advances

We investigate the energy dissipation and track formation due to ion irradiation in SrTiO₃ and KTaO₃. We use molecular dynamics simulations combined with the inelastic thermal spike model to simulate 21 MeV Ni ion irradiation in pristine and predamaged samples. The results are validated against experimental findings, showing that the level of initial disorder affects the electron-phonon interactions and the energy dissipation and deposition to the atoms. It is predicted that the ion track size increases linearly for low disorder levels, while its size saturates for high levels of disorder.

Revealing two-stage phase transition process in defective KTaO₃ under inelastic interactions

Journal Article Iancu, Deceba ; Zarkadoula, Eva ; Mihai, M. D. ; ... - Scripta Materialia

Here, the interactions of ions with defective KTaO₃ has been studied by irradiating pre-damaged single crystal KTaO₃ with 5 MeV C, 7 MeV Si and 12 MeV O ions at 300 K. By exploring these processes in KTaO₃, the results show that, for a pre-damaged fractional disorder level of 0.3 and inelastic electronic energy loss, S_e, ≥ 4.65 keV/nm (7 MeV Si ions), the synergistic interaction of Se with defects enables amorphous ion track creation. At lower values of S_e (5 MeV C and 12 MeV O), minor increases in disorder are observed initially over a region of depth atmore »« less

Structural damage response of lanthanum and yttrium aluminate crystals to nuclear collisions and electronic excitation: Threshold assessment of irradiation damage

Journal Article Liu, Yong ; Han, Xinqing ; Huang, Qing ; ... - Journal of Materials Science and Technology

A comparative analysis is performed on the structural damage response and associated mechanisms in lanthanum aluminate and yttrium aluminate crystals under various irradiation conditions by a combination of experimental and theoretical approaches. Under low-energy Au+ irradiation, the damage accumulation curve shows a higher damage rate for LaAlO₃ crystals than YAlO₃ crystals. The relatively low irradiation tolerance of LaAlO₃ to the action of nuclear collisions is ascribed to the large amorphization cross-section and effective cross-section for defect-stimulated amorphization. Under swift Ar¹²⁺, Ni¹⁹⁺ and Kr¹⁷⁺ irradiation with different ion energies and velocities, the formed highly-disordered/amorphous latent tracks with different morphologies in pristinemore »« less
