Title: Fractal analysis of collision cascades in pulsed-ion-beam-irradiated solids [Collision cascade densities in ion pulsed ion irradiated solids { a fractal approach]

Abstract

The buildup of radiation damage in ion-irradiated crystals often depends on the spatial distribution of atomic displacements within collision cascades. Although collision cascades have previously been described as fractals, the correlation of their fractal parameters with experimental observations of radiation damage buildup remains elusive. Here, we use a pulsed-ion-beam method to study defect interaction dynamics in 3C-SiC irradiated at 100 °C with ions of different masses. These data, together with results of previous studies of SiC and Si, are analyzed with a model of radiation damage formation which accounts for the fractal nature of collision cascades. Our emphasis is on the extraction of the effective defect diffusion length from pulsed beam measurements. Results show that, for both Si and SiC, collision cascades are mass fractals with fractal dimensions in the range of ~1–2, depending on ion mass, energy, and the depth from the sample surface. Within our fractal model, the effective defect diffusion length is ~10 nm for SiC and ~20 nm for Si, and it decreases with increasing cascade density. These results demonstrate a general method by which the fractal nature of collision cascades can be used to explain experimental observations and predict material’s response to radiation.

Radiation defect dynamics in solids studied by pulsed ion beams

Journal Article Wallace, J. B. ; Bayu Aji, L. B. ; Kucheyev, S. O. - Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research. Section B, Beam Interactions with Materials and Atoms

The buildup of radiation damage is often a dynamic phenomenon proceeding via migration and interaction of point defects ballistically generated in collision cascades. In this work, we describe how the dynamic aspects of damage formation via inter-cascade defect interaction can be studied by pulsed ion beam bombardment. We illustrate the pulsed beam method by an example for Si bombarded at 100°C with 1.35 MeV Xe ions and compare with previously reported data for 0.5 MeV Xe ion irradiation. Results reveal that the time constant of defect relaxation strongly depends on both ion energy and the depth from the sample surface.more »« less

Effects of collision cascade density on radiation defect dynamics in 3C-SiC

Journal Article Bayu Aji, L. B. ; Wallace, J. B. ; Kucheyev, S. O. - Scientific Reports

Effects of the collision cascade density on radiation damage in SiC remain poorly understood. We study damage buildup and defect interaction dynamics in 3C-SiC bombarded at 100 °C with either continuous or pulsed beams of 500 keV Ne, Ar, Kr, or Xe ions. Here, we find that bombardment with heavier ions, which create denser collision cascades, results in a decrease in the dynamic annealing efficiency and an increase in both the amorphization cross-section constant and the time constant of dynamic annealing. The cascade density behavior of these parameters is non-linear and appears to be uncorrelated. Our results demonstrate clearly (andmore »« less

Deterministic Role of Collision Cascade Density in Radiation Defect Dynamics in Si

Journal Article Wallace, J. B. ; Aji, L. B. Bayu ; Shao, L. ; ... - Physical Review Letters

The formation of stable radiation damage in solids often proceeds via complex dynamic annealing (DA) processes, involving point defect migration and interaction. The dependence of DA on irradiation conditions remains poorly understood even for Si. Here, we use a pulsed ion beam method to study defect interaction dynamics in Si bombarded in the temperature range from ~ -30 °C to 210 °C with ions in a wide range of masses, from Ne to Xe, creating collision cascades with different densities. We demonstrate that the complexity of the influence of irradiation conditions on defect dynamics can be reduced to a deterministicmore »« less

Radiation defect dynamics in Si at room temperature studied by pulsed ion beams

Journal Article Wallace, J. B. ; Myers, M. T. ; Charnvanichborikarn, S. ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

The evolution of radiation defects after the thermalization of collision cascades often plays the dominant role in the formation of stable radiation disorder in crystalline solids of interest to electronics and nuclear materials applications. Here, we explore a pulsed-ion-beam method to study defect interaction dynamics in Si crystals bombarded at room temperature with 500 keV Ne, Ar, Kr, and Xe ions. The effective time constant of defect interaction is measured directly by studying the dependence of lattice disorder, monitored by ion channeling, on the passive part of the beam duty cycle. The effective defect diffusion length is revealed by the dependencemore »« less
