The created nano-sized structures have been imaged using tapping mode atomic force microscopy. Hillock-like structures are clearly visible at the surface of the mica irradiated by Xe29+ ions (at 0.58 MeV) below the charge state threshold reported in earlier experimental investigations with a height (similar to 1.6 rim) nearly equal to the one observed by Xe30+ ions (at 0.6 MeV). Moreover when mica is irradiated by Xe30+ ions (at 4.8 MeV), regular nanodots have been observed with a surprisingly larger height of 3.3 nin, nearly the double than the one created by the impact of Xe30+ ions with kinetic energy of 0.6 MeV. The possible mechanism of insulator surface modification is discussed. Crown Copyright (C) 2011 Published by Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.</span

    Narrow size distribution of Au nanocrystals formed in sapphire by utilizing Ar ion irradiation and thermal annealing

    No full text
    We describe a method to form narrow size distribution of Au nanoparticles in Al2O3 substrate. A layer of Au about 30 nm thick was deposited on surface of single crystalline Al2O3, and then was brought into the matrix by Ar ion irradiation to form Au nanoparticles. The size distribution of the nanoparticles was subsequently modified by annealing treatment. Rutherford Backscattering Spectrometry, X-ray Diffraction and Transmission Electron Microscopy were used to study the structure and the size distribution of the nanoparticles. The results show that a narrow size distribution of nanoparticles formed in single crystalline alumina with an average diameter of 3.9 nm and a standard deviation of 0.5 nm. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V.

Studies on the accumulation of radiation damage and gaseous impuries in SiC are of primary importance. In the present work,the microstructure damage,defects accumulation and evolution,and mechanical properties of SiC irradiated by multiple-energy Xe ions were studies. Specimens of 6H-SiC were implanted with Xe ions with multiple kinetic energies ranging from 3.3 to 8 MeV at room temperature to obtain nearly uniform Xe concentrations, in the depth between 850 and 1800 nm, to 7.5, 30, 150 at.ppm, respectively. The irradiated specimens were subsequently thermally annealed under high vacuum at temperatures of 773, 1073 and 1373 K, respectively. The lattice damage and defect evolution were studied by high resolution x-ray diffraction spectrometry (HRXRD), Raman scattering spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM),while changes in mechanical properties were analyzed by the nanoindentation measurement in the continue stiffness mode. In the specimen Xe-implanted to a concentration of 7.5 at.ppm Xe, HRXRD and Raman scattering results suggest that the irradiation damage mainly induce the lattice expansion in the implanted SiC, while TEM results show that the the implanted layer keeps crystalline state. The main species are point defects. Interstitial-type point defects are supposed to play a major role in the lattice expansion. Upon subsequent thermal annealing the strain relaxes gradually. The relaxation of the strain follows Arrhenius plot. The obtained apparent activation energy of strain relaxation (Ea=67&plusmn;5 meV) is lower than the value of interstitial migration energy from theoretical calculations, possibly due to the migration of interstitial defects enhanced by the strain gradient. In the specimens implanted to 30 at.ppm and 150 at.ppm Xe, formation of amorphous layers is confirmed from Raman spectrum and TEM results. The buried amorphous layer is observed in the 30 at.ppm Xe implanted specimens, while the implanted region of the 150 at.ppm-Xe specimens has been completely amorphized from the specimen surface. HRXRD results show that the satellite peak near the main peak reappears after thermal annealing which may not be from the surface region but from a buried strain layer between the amorphous layer and the unperturbed bulk crystal. The strain value related to the satellite peak decreases with increasing annealing temperature and is independent of the ion fluence. In addition, Raman spectrum studies indicate that carbon-type defects begin to migrate at annealing temperatures from 773 to 1073 K, but Si-type defects diffuse obviously at a higher annealing temperature of 1373 K. The amorphization is ascribed to the observed volume swelling of the irradiated SiC.Microstructure changes due to irradiation can alter the mechanical properties. The nanohardness value of the specimen implanted to 7.5 at.ppm exceeds that of virgin SiC, whereas it is opposite in the cases of 30 at.ppm and 150 at.ppm Xe implantation due to the formation of amorphous regions. When complete amorphization is reached, the hardness value decreases strongly by about 45%, which is in agreement with previous work.</span

    The application of irradiation defects in synthesis of metal nanoparticle in insulator

    本论文的核心思想是尝试利用辐照缺陷来调控金属纳米颗粒形核,期望达到改善绝缘基体(镁铝尖晶石)中金属纳米颗粒尺寸的离散性和分布的均匀性。首先采用不同能量的Ar离子在350℃下辐照表面沉积Au薄膜的样品,以达到同时在样品近表面区域引入缺陷和Au原子。实验结果发现,入射离子的动能对Au纳米颗粒的形成有较大贡献。退火过程中发现Au纳米颗粒的热稳定性并不理想,因此对实验方案做了改进,采用更高能量的Ar离子辐照,同时样品表面沉积原子质量较轻的Cu薄膜。辐照后样品的TEM结果显示Cu颗粒的直径分布在1.3-3.4nm之间,并且颗粒的热稳定性显著改善。但是样品表面的Cu在高温下发生了团聚,这对样品的光学性能有一定影响。为了避免表面金属的影响,随后将Ag离子直接注入到Ar离子辐照损伤层。UV-VIS谱的结果显示缺陷的引入显著地增强了Ag纳米颗粒的形核,PAS多普勒展宽谱的结果表明对Ag纳米颗粒形核起到促进作用的主要是空位型缺陷,TEM结果显示缺陷的引入不仅促进了Ag纳米颗粒的形核,而且改善了Ag纳米颗粒尺寸的离散性及分布的均匀性。在后续的退火实验中发现在600-700℃范围内,镁铝尖晶石的Mg2+和Al3+离子所在的位置发生了反转,引起晶格常数的增大,但是阳离子位置的反转并不影响材料的结晶度。 &nbsp;Because of having merits of both traditional composites and nanomaterials, the composites of dielectrics embedded with metallic nanoparticles have a broad application in many fields. However, there is no an effective way to improve the size discreteness and distribution uniformity of nanoparticles to this day. The core idea of this dissertation is using irradiation defects to adjust the nucleation of metallic nanoparticles for improving the nanoparticles size discreteness and distribution uniformity. In experiment Ar ions were used to irradiated the magnesium-aluminum spinel deposited with Au film on surface at elevated temperature to introduce defects and metal atoms simultaneously in near surface region. It was found that the kinetic energy of incident ions seems to have a greater contribution to metal nanoparticles formation than irradiation fluence, and Au nanoparticles were unstable in the annealing process. Based on these results Cu instead of Au was deposited on specimen surface and Ar ions with higher kinetic energy were used in subsequent experiment. After irradiation the observation of SPR absorbance peak in UV-VIS spectrum indicated the formation of Cu nanoparticles. TEM results revealed that Cu nanoparticles with diameter of 1.3-3.4nm dispersed in the matrix. The Cu nanoparticle thermal stability has also been improved evidently. However, the agglomeration of Cu, which had an influence on the specimen&rsquo;s absorbance property, occurred on surface at elevated temperature. To avoid the influence of metal film on absorbance property Ag ions were implanted directly into the layer rich in irradiation defects produced by Ar ions irradiation in the next experiment. UV-VIS results showed enhanced nucleation of metallic nanoparitlces in the specimen rich in defects. PAS Doppler broadening spectrum identified that the defects promoted the nucleation of metallic nanoparticle were vacancy type defects. TEM results revealed that the introduction of irradiation defects can improve the size discreteness and distribution uniformity. In subsequent annealing experiment it was found that the inversion of Mg2+ and Al3+ occurred in temperature range of 600-700℃,which caused the increase of lattice constant, but had little influence on specimen crystallization.&nbsp
