Title: Two-stage synergy of electronic energy loss with defects in LiTaO₃ under ion irradiation

Abstract

Understanding energy dissipation in electronic and atomic subsystems and subsequent defect evolution is a scientific challenge. Separate and combined effects of electronic and nuclear energy deposition in z-cut LiTaO₃ have been investigated. Irradiation of pristine LiTaO₃ samples with 2 MeV Ta ions leads to amorphization due to atomic displacement damage, described by a disorder accumulation model. Here, while 21 MeV Si ions do not produce significant damage in pristine LiTaO₃, introduction of pre-existing defects sensitizes LiTaO₃ to the formation of ion tracks from the electronic energy loss by 21 MeV Si ions that induce a synergistic two-stage phase transition process.

Role of atomic-level defects and electronic energy loss on amorphization in LiNbO₃ single crystals

Journal Article Sellami, N. ; Crespillo, M. L. ; Xue, H. ; ... - Journal of Physics. D, Applied Physics

Understanding complex non-equilibrium defect processes, where multiple irradiation mechanisms may take place simultaneously, is a long standing subject in material science. The separate and combined effects of elastic and inelastic energy loss are a very complicated and challenging topic. In this work, LiNbO₃ has been irradiated with 0.9 MeV Si⁺ and 8 MeV O³⁺, which are representative of regimes where nuclear (S _n) and electronic (S _e) energy loss are dominant, respectively. The evolution of damage has been investigated by Rutherford backscattering spectrometry (RBS) in channeling configuration. Pristine samples were irradiated with 0.9 MeV Si⁺ ions to create different pre-existingmore »« less

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

Synergistic effects of nuclear and electronic energy loss in KTaO₃ under ion irradiation

In this paper, we use the inelastic thermal spike model for insulators and molecular dynamic simulations to investigate the effects of pre-existing damage on the energy dissipation and structural alterations in KTaO₃ under irradiation with 21 MeV Ni ions. Our results reveal a synergy between the pre-existing defects and the electronic energy loss, indicating that the defects play an important role on the energy deposition in the system. Our findings highlight the need for better understanding on the role of defects in electronic energy dissipation and the coupling of the electronic and atomic subsystems.

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

Understanding irradiation effects induced by elastic energy loss to atomic nuclei and inelastic energy loss to electrons in a crystal, as well as the coupled effect between them, is a scientific challenge. Damage evolution in LiNbO₃ irradiated by 0.9 and 21 MeV Si ions at 300 K has been studied utilizing Rutherford backscattering spectrometry in channeling mode. During the low-energy ion irradiation process, damage accumulation produced due to elastic collisions is described utilizing a disorder accumulation model. Moreover, low electronic energy loss is shown to induce observable damage that increases with ion fluence. For the same electronic energy loss, themore »« less
