Ion-beam-induced amorphization and order-disorder transition in the murataite structure
Murataite sA3B6C2O22−x/2 ,F4̄3md, a derivative of an anion-deficient fluorite structure, has been synthesized as different polytypes as a result of cation ordering. Ion-beam-induced amorphization has been investigated by 1-MeV Kr2+ ion irradiation with in situ transmission electron microscopy. The critical amorphization dose was determined as a function of temperature and the degree of structura...
متن کاملOpposite correlations between cation disordering and amorphization resistance in spinels versus pyrochlores
Understanding and predicting radiation damage evolution in complex materials is crucial for developing next-generation nuclear energy sources. Here, using a combination of ion beam irradiation, transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction, we show that, contrary to the behaviour observed in pyrochlores, the amorphization resistance of spinel compounds correlates directly with the ener...
متن کاملMorphology of Amorphous Pockets in SiC Irradiated with 1 MeV Kr Ions
Radiation-induced amorphization is one of the concerns with SiC as structural components for next-generation nuclear reactors. Numerous studies have been focused on the amorphization mechanisms under electron, neutron, and ion irradiation. Proposed mechanisms for ion-induced amorphization include nucleation and growth of amorphous regions, direct impact combined with stimulated amorphization at...
متن کاملAtomistic Simulations to Predict Favored Glass-Formation Composition and Ion-Beam-Mixing of Nano-Multiple-Metal-Layers to Produce Ternary Amorphous Films
Based on the framework of long-range empirical formulas, the interatomic potentials were constructed for the Ni-Nb-Mo (fcc-bcc-bcc) and Ni-Zr-Mo (fcc-hcp-bcc) ternary metal systems. Applying the constructed potentials, atomistic simulations were performed to predict the energetically favored glass formation regions (GFRs) in the respective composition triangles of the systems. In addition, the ...
متن کاملTheoretical investigation of structural, energetic and electronic properties of titanate pyrochlores
Ab initio total energy calculations using the plane-wave pseudopotential method based on density functional theory were carried out to investigate the structural, energetic and electronic properties of A2Ti2O7 (A = La, Gd and Yb) pyrochlores. It turned out that the formation energies of antisite defects are not linearly dependent on the ratio of the cation radii, and, for the three compositions...
