AbstractAbstract
[en] Irradiation of Gd2Ti2O7 with 3 MeV Ar+ ions results in expansion of the unit-cell volume from defect accumulation as well as irradiation-induced amorphization. The damage cross-section for amorphization determined from X-ray diffraction analysis is 0.023 nm2. Transmission electron microscopy and electron diffraction have confirmed the irradiation-induced amorphous character at high fluences. Raman spectroscopy indicates a decrease in scattered intensity and an increase in linewidth with fluence for the principal vibrational modes, consistent with increasing irradiation-induced disorder. The wavenumber of the most intense Raman peak at ∼ 310 cm-1 (attributed to the O-Gd-O bending mode) decreases with fluence, indicating a change in bond Angle. The increase in the wavenumber of the Raman peak at ∼ 515 cm-1 (attributed to the Gd-O stretching mode) with fluence suggests a decrease in bone length. At intermediate fluences, a forbidden peak at 765 cm-11 becomes slightly activated by irradiation-induced disorder on the cation sites
