Field-induced insulator-metal-insulator transitions in low-energy H2- ion-irradiated epitaxial La2/3Cal/3MnO3 thin films

Epitaxial La2/3Cal/3MnO3 thin films grown on LaA103 （001） substrates were irradiated with low-energy 120-keV H＋ ions over doses ranging from 1012 ions/cm2 to 1017 ions/cm2. The irradiation suppresses the intrinsic insulator-metal （I-M） transition temperature and increases the resistance by reducing the crystallographic symmetry of the films. No irradiation-induced columnar defects were observed in any of the samples. The specific film irradiated at a critical dose around 8 x 1015 ions/cm2 is in a threshold state of the electric insulator where the I-M transition is absent. In an external field of 4 T or higher, the I-M transition is restored and thus an enormous magnetoresistance is observed, while a negative temperature coefficient resumes as the temperature is reduced further. Magnetic relaxation behavior is confirmed in this and other heavily irradiated samples. The results are interpreted in terms of the displacement of oxygen atoms provoked by ion irradiation and the resulting magnetic glassy state, which can be driven into a phase coexistence of metallic ferromagnetic droplets and the insulating glass matrix in a magnetic field.     

Field-induced insulator-metal-insulator transitions in low-energy H_2~+ ion-irradiated epitaxial La_(2/3)Ca_(1/3)MnO_3 thin films

Epitaxial La 2/3 Ca 1/3 MnO 3 thin films grown on LaAlO 3 (001) substrates were irradiated with low-energy 120-keV H 2 + ions over doses ranging from 10 12 ions/cm 2 to 10 17 ions/cm 2 . The irradiation suppresses the intrinsic insulator-metal (I-M) transition temperature and increases the resistance by reducing the crystallographic symmetry of the films. No irradiation-induced columnar defects were observed in any of the samples. The specific film irradiated at a critical dose around 8 × 10 15 ions/cm 2 is in a threshold state of the electric insulator where the I-M transition is absent. In an external field of 4 T or higher, the I-M transition is restored and thus an enormous magnetoresistance is observed, while a negative temperature coefficient resumes as the temperature is reduced further. Magnetic relaxation behavior is confirmed in this and other heavily irradiated samples. The results are interpreted in terms of the displacement of oxygen atoms provoked by ion irradiation and the resulting magnetic glassy state, which can be driven into a phase coexistence of metallic ferromagnetic droplets and the insulating glass matrix in a magnetic field.     

Effect of tellurium(Te~(4+)) irradiation on microstructure and associated irradiation-induced hardening

The GH3535 alloy samples were irradiated using 15-Me V Te~(4+) ions at 650℃ to a dose of 0.5, 3.0, 10, and 20 dpa, respectively. The Te atoms distribution and microstructure evolution were examined by electron probe microanalysis(EPMA)and transmission electron microscopy(TEM). The nano-indenter was then used to measure the nano-hardness changes of samples before and after irradiation. TEM results showed the formation of dislocation loops in the irradiated samples.Their mean diameters increase with the increase of irradiation dose and tends to be saturated when irradiation dose exceeds10 dpa. The ratio of yield strength increments calculated by dispersed barrier hardening(DBH) model is basically consistent with that of nano-hardness increments measured by nano-indenter. In addition, the relationship between the nano-hardness increments and dpa for the GH3535 alloy irradiated by Te ions has been revealed in the study.     

辐照诱导人正常肝细胞系HL-7702 细胞远后的微卫星不稳定性

采用高传能线密度(LET) 的12C6+离子束和低LET 的X 射线辐照人正常肝细胞系HL-7702 细胞,利用微卫星不稳定性(MSI) 检测来分析直接受照射细胞和通过转移培养基方式旁细胞传代八代子细胞以MSI 表征的远后效应。实验结果表明,12C6+离子束诱导的远后效应较X射线的低;旁细胞的远后效应较直接受照射细胞的高;辐射引起的MSI 与杂合性丢失(LOH) 的发生率具有位点特异性。结果提示,重离子放射治疗较X 射线放射治疗对正常组织引发的辐射风险要小,可通过对MSI 高发位点的筛选来评估放疗后患者长期生存状况和二次癌症发生风险。Human normal liver cell line HL-7702 cells were irradiated with high linear energy transfer (LET) 12C6+ ions and low-LET X-rays, respectively. Delayed effect in terms of microsatellite instability (MSI) in progenies of the directly irradiated cells and bystander cells, obtained in the way of medium transfer at the 8th passage postirradiation,were examined. The delayed effect induced by the high-LET 12C6+ ions was different from that induced by the low-LET X-rays, and a higher incidence of MSI was observed in the progenies of the cells after exposure to the X-rays than to the 12C6+ ions. We also found that the delayed effect in the progenies of the bystander cells was much more severe than thoseof directly irradiated cells. Furthermore, the events of MSI and loss of heterozygosity (LOH) induced by the ionizing radiations were not randomly distributed throughout the genome and specific loci existed indeed. These results imply that the radiation risk to normal tissues is lower in heavy ion therapy than in conventional X-ray radiotherapy, and the analysis of microsatellite loci with MSI high frequency occurrence can be applied to access long-term survival condition and second cancer risk for the patients after radiotherapy.     

Copper Ion Beam Irradiation-Induced Effects on Structural,Morphological and Optical Properties of Tin Dioxide Nanowires

The 0.8 MeV copper(Cu) ion beam irradiation-induced effects on structural,morphological and optical properties of tin dioxide nanowires(SnO_2 NWs) are investigated.The samples are irradiated at three different doses5 × 10~(12) ions/cm~2,1 × 10~(13) ions/cm~2 and 5 × 10~(13) ions/cm~2 at room temperature.The XRD analysis shows that the tetragonal phase of SnO_2 NWs remains stable after Cu ion irradiation,but with increasing irradiation dose level the crystal size increases due to ion beam induced coalescence of NWs.The FTIR spectra of pristine SnO_2NWs exhibit the chemical composition of SnO_2 while the Cu-O bond is also observed in the FTIR spectra after Cu ion beam irradiation.The presence of Cu impurity in SnO_2 is further confirmed by calculating the stopping range of Cu ions by using TRM/SRIM code.Optical properties of SnO_2 NWs are studied before and after Cu ion irradiation.Band gap analysis reveals that the band gap of irradiated samples is found to decrease compared with the pristine sample.Therefore,ion beam irradiation is a promising technology for nanoengineering and band gap tailoring.     

Heavy-Ion-Induced Sucrose and L-α-Alanine Radicals Investigated by EPR

We investigated the details of sucrose and L-α-alanine radicals produced by heavy-ion irradiation with various linear energy transfer (LET) values. The impact of the heavy ions on samples produced stable free radicals, which were analyzed by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). The spectral patterns obtained were similar among those for the irradiation of carbon (C), neon (Ne), silicon (Si), and argon (Ar) ions. The radical production of irradiated sucrose and alanine samples showed a linear relation with the absorbed dose. The total spin concentration obtained by heavy-ion irradiation decreases as logarithmic function of the LET. Quantitative EPR analysis showed that the production of sucrose and alanine radicals depended on both the ion species and the LET values under the same dose. Moreover, the radical-production cross sections for sucrose and alanine irradiated with C ions (290 MeV/u) were about 1.3 · 10⁻⁸ and about 3.0 · 10⁻⁹ μm², respectively. The results of the cross section suggest that each molecule becomes a stable radical with the interaction of several particles.

12C6+离子辐照对4种农作物种子出苗率

以能量为80 MeV/u的12C6+离子为诱变源辐照油菜、 胡麻、 大葱和兵豆的干种子后, 研究了不同剂量处理对4种农作物M1和M2代种子出苗率及幼苗生长的影响。 实验结果表明: 重离子所导致的M1代生物学效应因不同的物种而表现出一定的差异, 适当剂量C离子辐照促进了油菜和胡麻M1代出苗率和幼苗的生长; 而不同剂量的C离子辐照抑制了大葱的出苗率和幼苗的生长; 兵豆3个剂量下的出苗率和对照相差很小, 但90 Gy辐照有利于其生长。 到了M2代, 4种作物辐照组的发芽率都低于各自的对照组; 30 Gy剂量下的油菜、 胡麻和兵豆长势最好; 大葱依然是对照的长势最好。 Crops of Brassica napus L., Linum usitatissmum L., Allium fistulosum L. and Lens culinaris Medic. were irradiated by 80 MeV/u 12C6+ ion beams with doses of 30, 90 and 180 Gy. The germination rates and heights of seedlings of M1 and M2 generation of these four plants were studied. The results indicated that germination rates and average heights of the B. napus and L. usitatissmum were improved by appropriate dose treatment, while great suppression was found in the irradiated groups of the A. fistulosum. As far as the L. Culinaris was concerned, little differences was observed on M1 germination rate, but the 90 Gy irradiation was favorable to growth of plant. The treatments with 30, 90 and 180 Gy were inferior to contrast one on M2 germination rate of the four species. Seedlings of M2 generation of the B. napus, L. sitatissmum and L. culinaris under 30 Gy grew better than the other groups, while the best performance of the A. fistulosum was shown by the control group.     

MeV能量的重离子辐照GaN的HRXRD研究

分别进行了2.3 MeV20 Ne8+ 离子和5.0 MeV84 Kr19+ 离子辐照GaN样品的实验, 并对实验样品进行了HRXRD的分析。结果发现, 随着这两种离子辐照剂量的增大, GaN的HRXRD谱（0002）衍射峰的峰位出现了向小角侧有规律的移动, 并在较高剂量时衍射峰发生分裂。同时, 对衍射峰的峰位的移动和峰形的变化等现象反映的辐照损伤机制进行了研究, 并探讨了电子能损与核能损各自在晶格损伤中的作用。Irradiation experiments of gallium nitride (GaN) with 2.3 MeV20 Ne8+ and 5.0 MeV84 Kr19+ respectively were performed. The irradiated samples were analyzed using the high\|resolution X\|ray diffraction (HRXRD) spectrometry. It was found that the diffraction peak of GaN (0001) exhibited regular shift to smaller diffraction angles with the increase of ion fluence for the both ions, and the diffraction peak split into a few sub\|peaks at higher irradiation dose. Underlying mechanisms of the observed peak shift and split were investigated, the contributions of different energy losses to the damage accumulation in the irradiated GaN were discussed.     

Effect of swift heavy ion irradiation on thermal,optical and structural properties of poly vinylidene chloride

Poly vinylidene chloride (PVDC) irradiated with lithium (50 MeV), carbon (85 MeV), nickel (120 MeV) and silver ions (120 MeV) having fluence range of 1 × 10¹¹ ions/cm² to 3 × 10¹² ions/cm² have been studied using different techniques i.e. XRD (X-ray diffraction), FTIR (Fourier transform infrared), UV–Visible and TGA (thermo-gravimetric analysis). In XRD analysis, the intensity of diffraction peaks of PVDC irradiated with lithium ions was enhanced at lower fluence as compared to pristine. The shift in optical absorption edge in irradiated PVDC was correlated with the decrease in optical band gap energy. The distinguishable characteristic peaks were observed due to UV–Vis analysis, in lithium irradiated samples of PVDC at higher fluences. The % age decrease in optical band gap energy for the respective ions were 30.9%, 34.16%, 81.1%, 87.02% respectively. Formation of double carbon bonds and breaking of C–O and C–Cl bonds with the release of Cl in irradiated PVDC was observed in FTIR spectra. In Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), the % age weight loss observed for irradiated samples with increase in ion fluence was lesser than the % age weight loss observed in pristine sample.     

Effects of Heavy Ion Irradiation on Short-Range Order of Fe–Cr–P–C Amorphous Alloys Investigated by Mössbauer and DSC Measurements

Rapidly quenched Fe–Cr–P–C amorphous alloys irradiated with 209 MeV energy ⁸⁴Kr ions were investigated by Mössbauer spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and differential scanning calorimetry measurements. Significant changes were found between Mössbauer spectra of the irradiated and non-irradiated amorphous alloys. The changes were analysed by the hyperfine field distribution method, too. The crystallisation temperature as well as the phase composition at a certain stage of crystallisation were found to be different in the non-irradiated and irradiated samples. These results reflect the changes in the short-range ordering due to the irradiation with energetic heavy ions.

The IR measurement for irradiated GaAs samples confirmed the...     

Optical and Structural Modifications in Heavy Ion Irradiated Polystyrene

Samples of polystyrene (PS) have been irradiated with ⁶⁴Cu (50 and 120 MeV) and ¹²C (70 MeV) ion beams (fluence=10¹¹ to 10¹³ ions cm^?2) in order to study the induced modifications using UV‐VIS and FTIR spectroscopy. UV spectra of irradiated samples reveal that the optical band gap decreases from 4.36 to 1.46 eV in PS. The decrease in optical band gap is more pronounced with the Cu‐ion beam due to high electronic energy loss as compared to the C ion beam. The effect of low energy (50 MeV) Cu ions on the optical properties of PS is larger than that due to high energy (120 MeV) Cu ions. The correlation between the optical band gap and the number of six member carbon rings inside the largest carbon clusters embedded in the network of polystyrene is discussed. FTIR spectra reveal the formation of hydroxyl, alkene, and alkyne groups in the Cu‐ion irradiated PS. Changes in the intensity of the absorption bands on irradiation with C‐ion relative to pristine samples have also been observed and are discussed.     

Spectroscopic studies of copper and carbon ion irradiated polypropylene

The samples of polypropylene (PP) have been irradiated with 120 MeV ⁶⁴Cu⁹⁺ and 70 MeV ¹²C⁵⁺ ion beams, with the fluence ranging from 1 × 10¹³ to 1 × 10¹¹ ions/-cm⁻². UV-VIS and FTIR techniques have been used to study the chemical and optical properties of these irradiated polymers. UV spectra revealed that the optical-gap energy decreases by 54 % with copper ion irradiation at the fluence of 1 × 10¹³ ions/cm², whereas at the same fluence, carbon beam decreases the optical-gap energy by 20%. FTIR analysis of ion irradiated samples revealed the presence of -OH, C = O and C = C bonds. Alkyne formation has been observed only in the case of copper ion irradiation.      

Kinetics of the radiation-induced hardening of EP-823 steel after Ni++ ion irradiation, annealing, and re-irradiation

The ferritic-martensitic steel 12Cr-MoWSiVNbB (EP-823) was irradiated with Ni⁺⁺ ions with the energy 7 MeV, and fluences of 2.7 × 10²⁰ and 3.9 × 10²⁰ ion/m² at 380 C. The irradiated samples were annealed at 600°C and then re-irradiated under the same conditions. After re-irradiation, the microhardness increased to the maximum value and achieved about 70% of the value corresponding to that after primary irradiation. After primary and secondary irradiation with increasing doses, the hardening reaches its saturation level at approximately similar damaging doses and behaves similar to that obtained in the case of the neutron irradiation of ferritic chromium steels.     

Structural phase diagram for ZnS nanocrystalline thin films under swift heavy ion irradiation

The synthesis of nanocrystalline ZnS thin films by pulsed laser deposition and their modification by swift heavy ions are presented. The irradiations with 150 MeV Ni ions at fluences of 1×10¹¹, 1×10¹² and 1×10¹³ ions/cm² have been used for these studies. Irradiation results in structural phase transformation and bandgap modification of these films are investigated by using X-ray diffraction and UV-visible absorption measurements, respectively. Since stoichiometry changes induced by irradiation can contribute to the modification of these properties, elastic recoil detection analysis has been performed on pristine and 150 MeV Ni ions irradiated ZnS thin films using a 120 MeV Ag ion beam. The stoichiometry of the films has been found to be similar for pristine and ion irradiated samples. A structural phase diagram based on thermal and pressure spikes has been constructed to explain the structural phase transformation.     

Ion beam induced modifications in nitroso substituted polyaniline: Spectral and electrical studies

N-PANI was irradiated with 100 MeV ²⁸Si ions at different ion-fluences. The pristine and irradiated polymer samples were characterized by FT-IR, UV–visible spectroscopic techniques. The electrical conductivity studies were conducted on polymer samples. A significant change in optical band gap and room temperature electrical conductivity was observed in polymer samples after irradiation. The solubility of the polymer samples has also been tested in 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP).     

Properties of indium phosphite and selected compounds under irradiation with swift heavy ions

Surface and bulk properties of indium phosphate single crystals with initial and previously irradiated by 25 MeV electrons structures were irradiated with ⁸⁶Kr (253 MeV) and ¹⁹⁷Au (200 MeV) up to various fluences. The modern methods of condensed matter studies were used for research of InP property changes before and after irradiation as scanning (SEM) and high resolution transmission electronic microscopy (HTEM), Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy (RBS/C) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The comparison of obtained results with the results of other authors is carried out. The surface structure change of InP single crystal irradiated by high-energy 86Kr ions and electrons is studied. It is shown the changes of the InP surface have complicated character and caused by inelastic sputtering processes. It is observed the twice irradiated layer swells with the cracks creation on the surface. The swelling with cracks and strong sputtering of twice irradiated by electrons and ions with high energy layers of the InP and GaAs surfaces are explained using the model based on the influence of ionizing energy loss of swift ⁸⁶Kr ions. The small crystalline objects are detected on the InP surface irradiated with ⁸⁶Kr ions which may be nano- and micro-crystals of InP. All obtained effects are discussed in frame of models based on ionizing energy loss of swift heavy ions.
