Download or read book Ion Beam Modification of Solids written by Werner Wesch and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-07-14 with total page 547 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the method of ion beam modification of solids in realization, theory and applications in a comprehensive way. It provides a review of the physical basics of ion-solid interaction and on ion-beam induced structural modifications of solids. Ion beams are widely used to modify the physical properties of materials. A complete theory of ion stopping in matter and the calculation of the energy loss due to nuclear and electronic interactions are presented including the effect of ion channeling. To explain structural modifications due to high electronic excitations, different concepts are presented with special emphasis on the thermal spike model. Furthermore, general concepts of damage evolution as a function of ion mass, ion fluence, ion flux and temperature are described in detail and their limits and applicability are discussed. The effect of nuclear and electronic energy loss on structural modifications of solids such as damage formation, phase transitions and amorphization is reviewed for insulators and semiconductors. Finally some selected applications of ion beams are given.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 455 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book collects the papers presented at the NATO Advanced Research Workshop on "Ionization of Solids by Heavy Particles", held in Giardini-Naxos (Taormina), Italy, on June 1 -5, 1992. The meeting was the first to gather scientists to discuss the physics of electron emission and other ionization effects occurring during the interaction of heavy particles with condensed matter. The central problem in the field is how to use observations of electron emission and final radiation damage to understand what happens inside the solid, like excitation mechanisms, the propagation of the electronic excitation along different pathways, and surface effects. The ARW began with a brief survey of the field, stressing the unknowns. It was pointed out that ionization theories can only address the very particular case of weak perturbations. For this problem, this meant high speed, low-charged projectiles (a perturbation treatment of interactions with slow, highly charged ions was later presented). Only semi-empirical models exist for velocities lower than the Fermi velocity in the solid, which can be used to predict kinetic electron emission yields. These models, however, do not address the basic questions about the mechanisms for electron excitation, transport and escape through the surface layer.
Download or read book Radiation Damage Effects in Solids written by Hardev Singh Virk and published by Trans Tech Publications Ltd. This book was released on 2013-07-31 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters BCI (WoS). Public interest and concern about radiation damage effects has increased during recent times. Nuclear radiation proved to be a precursor for the study of radiation damage effects in solids. In general, all types of radiation, e.g. X-ray, gamma ray, heavy ions, fission fragments and neutrons produce damage effects in materials. Radiation damage latent tracks in solids find applications in nuclear and elementary particle physics, chemistry, radiobiology, earth sciences, nuclear engineering, and a host of other areas such as nuclear safeguards, virus counting, ion track filters, uranium exploration and archaeology. Radiation dosimetry and reactor shielding also involve concepts based on radiation damage in solids. This special volume consists of ten Chapters, including Review and Research Papers on various topics in this field.

Download or read book Investigation of Ion Track Morphology and Annealing Behavior Using Small Angle X ray Scattering written by Boshra Afra and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When heavy ions with energies in the range of hundreds of MeV to GeV penetrate a solid, they lose their energy through inelastic interactions with the target electrons and can leave narrow cylindrical trails of permanent damage along their path, known as ion tracks. Ion tracks are typically a few nanometers in diameter and can be up to tens of micrometers long. When these tracks are annealed at elevated temperatures, they shrink in size and eventually the damage inside the material can recover. In this project ion tracks are studied in Durango apatite, San Carlos olive and synthetic quartz. In minerals such as apatite track formation can result from spontaneous fission of naturally occurring uranium inclusions that produces high energetic fragments. These so called "fission tracks" are used for dating and constraining the thermal history of geological samples. The current dating methods, however, utilize chemical etching, which destroys the primary damage such that essential information on the actual scale of the underlying radiation damage is irrevocably lost. A detailed understanding of the un-etched track damage in minerals and its dependence on geologically relevant conditions is of fundamental importance for the application of etched tracks in geo- and thermochronology. Tracks in olivine are used for identification of cosmic rays in meteorites. Many meteorites contain different amounts of olivine which is a crystalline mineral susceptible to ion track formation from high energetic cosmic particles. Studying the annealing behavior of ion tracks in meteorites can lead to estimation of the temperature of the mineral during track formation. In quartz, swift heavy ion irradiation leads to a change in the refractive index of the material inside the narrow tracks and provides new possibilities for fabrication and micromachining of optical devices. Annealing of ion tracks in quartz is of interest as for example device fabrication processes often involve elevated temperatures. In this work synchrotron based small angle x-ray scattering in combination with in situ and ex situ annealing experiments is used to study the morphology and damage recovery of un-etched ion tracks. It is demonstrated that SAXS is a powerful tool for studying ion track damage in a variety of materials as it is sensitive to small density changes at the nanometer scale that often occur in the damaged regions. It is a non-destructive technique and can be used to determine changes in the track radii with sub-nanometer precision. Short acquisition times make it well suited for studying track annealing kinetics in situ. The work presented in this thesis has aided in developing the possibilities that small angle x-ray scattering can provide for studying the morphology and annealing behavior of nano sized damage structures. The high accuracy with which the track radii can be determined using SAXS, the nondestructive, artifact-free measurement methodology, as well as the data analysis models introduced in this work provide an effective means for in-depth studies of ion-track morphology and annealing behavior in a variety of materials.
