离子辐照钨基上碳薄膜微结构的分析

对钨基材料表面上射频磁控溅射沉积的碳膜进行了氩离子和氮离子的辐照,并作了ＸＲＤ及ＸＰＳ的分析。分析结果表明,不同离子辐照引起碳膜微结构的变化亦不同,。氮离子辐照不仅使碳膜元素与基体元素发生混合,而且导致碳膜发生相变,生成碳－化合物,如α－Ｗ２Ｃ、ＷＣｘ,同时氮离子本身与反应生成氮－钨化合物,如ａ－ＷＮ。     

Ion irradiation effects on the optical properties of tungsten oxide films

The optical changes in amorphous WO₃ film prepared by reactive RF sputtering and irradiated by 200-800 keV oxygen ions were measured to study the relationship between coloration and energy deposition. The color centers were effectively created by ion irradiation with contributions from nuclear collisions and electronic energy loss. The increase in the absorption coefficient was reasonably explained by a first order reaction, whose production rate depended roughly on the total deposited energy. During heat treatment in air atmosphere, transmittance recovery started at 400 K and completed at 550 K. No significant difference was found among films irradiated by different incident energies; therefore indicating that the ion-induced damage structure is not strongly influenced by the type of energy loss.     

H+辐照对不锈钢基体上涂覆W膜的微观研究

对奥氏体不锈钢基体上采用离子束混合技术进行不同厚度的钨膜沉积，沉积后的试样进行了H^ 注入前后的XRD和SEM微观分析，研究了H^ 辐照对W膜的晶体结构和形象的影响。结果表明，沉积的W膜基本上是非晶的，还出现了由于污染造成的钨的氧化物。氢离子的辐照模拟结果表明，少量晶化的W向非晶化转变，污染的氧化物被择优溅射掉。H^ 轰击对W膜表面形貌的影响不大，它仍然致密、均匀、完整且无明显损伤。     

Reflection properties of small hydrocarbons impinging on tungsten and carbon surfaces

Sticking coefficients of deuterium from are quantified on fusion relevant plasma sprayed tungsten and carbon fibre composite in the incident energy range from about 0-100 eV. The samples that were cut from ASDEX-Upgrade tiles are exposed to a beam of of specific incident energy, E_inc, in the tandem mass spectrometer BESTOF in Innsbruck. Nuclear reaction analysis is performed ex-situ at IPP Garching for the quantification of deuterium content. The deuterium content difference measured on a spot before and after ion-beam exposure of the sample is assigned to the above mentioned species of hydrocarbon molecules sticking on the surface, allowing the calculation of the sticking probability of a specific deuterated molecular ion. The sticking coefficient, S, is found to depend on the incident energy and shows a maximum of about S ∼ 0.4 around E_inc = 30 eV on CFC and about S ∼ 0.1 near E_inc = 20 eV in case of PSW.

高能Ar离子辐照PET膜引起的表面改性研究

采用傅立叶转换的红外光吸收技术在反射方式下分析研究了35MeV/u Ar离子辐照半晶质PET膜引起的表面改性及其对吸收剂量的依赖性。结果表明,辐照导致PET膜中与晶态区域相关的吸收带强度随吸收剂量增加普遍减弱,而与非晶区域相关的吸收带强度随吸收剂量增加逐渐增加,表明辐照使PET膜发生了非晶化转变。化学键断裂主要发生在苯环的对位和酯的C－O键上,而苯环的基本结构在整个辐照过程中变化较小。非晶化效应和化学键断裂同时依赖于离子的照射剂量和样品表面的电子能量沉积。此外,在约5．0MGy以上的吸收剂量,辐照还引起了炔端基团的形成,炔端基团浓度随吸收剂量的增加显著增加。对实验结果进行了定性解释。     

Microstructural evolution in nickel alloy C-276 after Ar ion irradiation

Irradiation damage in nickel alloy C-276 irradiated by 115 keV argon ions at room temperature with irradiation doses from 0.28 to 82.5 dpa has been investigated by transmission electron microscopy. Nano-scale black spot damage appeared at a dose higher than 0.83 dpa. Large interstitial-type dislocation loops were observed at the dose of 8.25 dpa. Both the density of dislocation loops and the density of network dislocations grew significantly with the increase of irradiation dose. However, the density of network dislocations declined at the dose of 27.5 dpa. But the total of dislocation density (density of dislocation lines plus density of dislocation loops) kept increasing and no signs of saturation were seen in the dose range explored. The results showed that the nickel alloy C-276 had good performance in delaying the development of black spots, dislocations and dislocation loops. However, original grains have formed into subgrains at the dose of 82.5 dpa, meaning that the grains in C-276 lost its structural integrity at doses higher than 82.5 dpa.     

Optical absorption of ion irradiated multi-walled carbon nanotube sheets in the visible to terahertz ranges

Deuterium retention in tungsten at fluences of up to 10 D/m using D ion beams

Deuterium retention in two types of polycrystalline tungsten (PCW) was studied as a function of incident ion fluence, ion energy, and specimen temperature. (i) D retention at 300 K, as a function of D⁺ fluence, demonstrated a trend to saturation in both the Rembar hot-rolled thin foil and Plansee tungsten plate. At 500 K, new D retention results for the Plansee PCW showed an increasing trend with increasing incident D⁺ fluence without any indication of saturation, in agreement with previous results for Rembar PCW [A.A. Haasz, J.W. Davis, M. Poon, R.G. Macaulay-Newcombe, J. Nucl. Mater. 258-263 (1998) 889-895]. Even when the incident D⁺ fluence was increased to 8 × 10²⁵ D⁺/m², which is in the fluence range of plasma devices, there was still no sign of saturation. (ii) The temperature dependence results for the Plansee PCW show a decreasing trend in D retention as the temperature is increased from 300 to 500 K. These results differ from previous studies of Rembar PCW [A.A. Haasz, J.W. Davis, M. Poon, R.G. Macaulay-Newcombe, J. Nucl. Mater. 258-263 (1998) 889-895], but are similar to those seen for single crystal tungsten [M. Poon, A.A. Haasz, J.W. Davis, R.G. Macaulay-Newcombe, J. Nucl. Mater. 313-316 (2003) 199]; an explanation for the different behaviour is suggested. (iii) Varying the D⁺ energy from 100 to 500 eV/D⁺ plays a minor role in the amount of D retained, suggesting that D retention in W depends more on the W structure, incident ion fluence and specimen temperature, rather than on the incident ion energy when the energy is below the threshold for damage formation (∼960 eV for D on W).     

Defect formation and annealing kinetics in ion irradiated carbon nanotube buckypapers

We studied the frequency shifts in G, D and D^* Raman modes in freestanding multiwall carbon nanotube buckypapers. Upon ion irradiation by 140 keV He⁺ or 3 MeV H⁺ ions, the intensity ratio of D–G modes linearly increases with fluence before amorphization. The ratio is used to quantitatively measure the level of disorder in the buckypaper. The study shows that, upon post-irradiation annealing, defect removal requires little energy addition in lightly damaged buckypaper, which is evidenced by an activation energy of 0.36 eV. Once amorphized, defect removal becomes very difficult. The D–G intensity ratio has no reduction in heavily damage sample after annealing up to 850 °C.     

Swift heavy ion irradiation of pyrochlore oxides: Electronic energy loss threshold for latent track formation

Pyrochlore pellets with the Gd₂(Ti_2−xZr_x)O₇ stoichiometry (x = 0, 1 and 2) were irradiated with swift heavy ions in order to investigate the effects of electronic excitation and to determine the electronic stopping power threshold for track formation. XRD results showed that the electronic excitation induced by 870 MeV Xe and 780 MeV Kr ions leads to: (i) a crystalline-amorphous transition for Gd₂Ti₂O₇ and Gd₂TiZrO₇, (ii) a phase transition towards an anion-deficient fluorite structure (order-disorder transition) for Gd₂Zr₂O₇. Thus, zirconate pyrochlores present a better radiation resistance under swift heavy ion irradiation than titanate pyrochlores. Moreover results underline the existence of an electronic stopping power threshold around 13-14 keV/nm, below which phase transformations do not occur.     

Effects of ion irradiation on cobalt nanocomposite

The effects of ion irradiation of 3-dimensional arrays of Co nanoparticles were investigated. Arrays were obtained by electron beam deposition of 15 Co/SiO₂ bilayers 0.5 and 20 nm thick, respectively. The Co layers consist of Co nanoparticles 3.2 nm in diameter with a standard deviation of 16%. Irradiation was carried out using combinations of 150 kV Ar²⁺ and 90 kV Ar⁺ ion bombardments with a Ar⁺:Ar²⁺ fluence ratio of 1:4. The effects of ion irradiation were followed by Rutherford backscattering, measurements of hysteresis loops at 5 K and of temperature-dependent field-cooled (FC) and zero-field-cooled (ZFC) measurements of the magnetic susceptibility. A decrease of the peak temperature in the ZFC curve for displacements per atom (DPA) up to 1.1 was observed. Irradiation also induces progressively lower coercivity values. The Co particles showed a remarkable high resistance to ion irradiation, surviving damage up to 33 DPA.     

Erosion of tungsten surfaces in He and Ar/He plasma

Irradiation tests of tungsten surface were performed with He and He/Ar plasma generated by microwave electron cyclotron resonance. Thickness loss was used as the erosion rate of tungsten surface under the plasma irradiation. The results revealed that the thickness loss increased linearly with negative bias. SEM images proved that the addition of Ar apparently increased the plasma erosion. The thickness loss increased sharply with the Ar fraction of Ar/He mixture when it was \20 %,where the increasing slope of thickness loss lowered down gradually.     

Etch-free formation of porous silicon by high-energy ion irradiation

In this study, porous silicon was fabricated without any chemical etching by self-ion implantation of crystalline Si performed at high temperature and at high fluences. The irradiated silicon samples, which remained crystalline under high temperature ion irradiation, exhibited an increased porous fraction with increasing sample temperature at a given fluence, up to the maximum tested temperature of 650 °C. Extremely high ion fluences of at least 2 × 10¹⁸ ions/cm² were necessary to produce significant void growth. Comparisons between the porous silicon structures and irradiation-induced porous networks in Ge, GaSb, and InSb are made, and differences in the formation conditions for these porous networks are discussed.     

Collision of low energy Na^＋ ion with C60

The collison-induced reaction of Na^ ion with neutral C60 vapour was investigated at the energy range of 10 to 150eV.The deposited films were studied via laser desorption time-of-flight mass spectroscopy(TOFMS).The fragment products of C60 with even number of carbon atoms,such as Cn^ (n=58,56,54),and adduct products,such as Cn^ (n=62,64,66,68) were observed in the positively charged TOF mass spectra.The endohedral fullerene ion of Na @C60^ was detected when collision energies are above 20eV.Besides,no negative endohedral fullerene was detected,the products appearing in positively charged mass spectra were also observed in the negatively charged mass spectra.In addidtion,a series of products with odd number of carbon atoms,such as Cn^-(n=53,55,57,59,61,63,65,67),also appeared.but the intensities of their signals were not as high as that of even numbered.Finally,it is interesting to find that the deposited films are insoluable in toluene,benzene or water.Their Fourier transform infrared (FTIR),spectra seem like those photopolymerized ones.Some of the reaction schemes are proposed to explain the experimental results.     

Erosion of carbon fiber composites under high-fluence heavy ion irradiation

The ion-induced erosion, determining by sputtering yield Y and surface evolution including structure and morphology changes of the modified surface layers, of two commercial carbon fiber composites (CFC) with different reinforcement - KUP-VM (1D) and Desna 4 (4D) have been studied under 30 keV Ar⁺ high fluence (φt ∼ 10¹⁸-10²⁰ ion/cm²) irradiation in the temperature range from room temperature to 400 °C. Ion-induced erosion results in the changes of carbon fiber structure which depend on temperature and ion fluence. Monitoring of ion-induced structural changes using the temperature dependence of ion-induced electron emission yield has shown that for Desna 4 and KUP-VM at dynamic annealing temperature Т_а ≈ 170 °С the transition takes place from disordering at T < T_a to recrystallization at T > T_a. The annealing temperature Т_а is close to the one for polycrystalline graphites. Microscopy analysis has shown that at temperatures Т < T_a the etching of the fibers results in a formation of trough-like longitudinal cavities and hillocks. Irradiation at temperatures T > T_a leads to a crimped structure with the ribs perpendicular to fiber axis. After further sputtering of the crimps the fiber morphology is transformed to an isotropic globular structure. As a result the sputtering yield decreases for Desna 4 more than twice. This value is almost equal to that for KUP-VM, Desna 4, polycrystalline graphites and glassy carbons at room temperature.
