“…The passage of a swift heavy ion (SHI) through a solid material can result in permanent damage along the ion's trajectory and is commonly called an ion track [12,13,[23][24][25]. The most common description of the ion track formation, the thermal spike model, suggests that the considerable kinetic energy of the projectile (in the MeVGeV range) is predominantly deposited in the form of a dense electronic excitation along the trajectory and can thus lead to localised melting of the material.…”

We investigated the response of wurzite GaN thin films to energetic ion irradiation. Both swift heavy ions (92 MeV Xe 23+ , 23 MeV I 6+ ) and highly charged ions (100 keV Xe 40+ ) were used. After irradiation, the samples were investigated using atomic force microscopy, grazing incidence small angle X-ray scattering, Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy in channelling orientation and time of flight elastic recoil detection analysis. Only grazing incidence swift heavy ion irradiation induced changes on the surface of the GaN, when the appearance of nanoholes is accompanied by a notable loss of nitrogen. The results are discussed in the framework of the thermal spike model.

“…swift heavy ions (SHI) was studied [5][6][7][8][9][10]. The reason for the present situation is that in comparison to insulators, semiconductors are less prone to this kind of radiation damage [11][12][13] and have thus not been extensively studied.…”

“…Such an evolution of the cross sections versus beam energy suggests a combined interaction of S e and S n . At high energy the i-TS model [23,24] describes quite well the cross section for Au beam energy larger than 22 MeV (Fig. 3a).…”

“…This interaction is surely cooperative and possibly additive at ~10 MeV Au ion. Atomistic simulation allow have been used to describe defect formation from ballistic recoils and the i-TS model [23,24]. The binary collision approximation is used to create effective recoil spectra (energy and directions), and the inelastic thermal spike model is used to calculate the thermal energy distribution.…”

“…The target beam dump lifetime is one year of operations (5500 h). For high energy ion beams, Electronic Energy Loss (S e ) was identified as the main damage process [2]. Even in metals such as pure titanium, high S e could induce defect [3] and track [4] formations.…”

Keywords:Swift heavy ion (SHI) irradiation damage Microstructure Mechanical properties Ti-6Al-4V Ti-6Al-4V-1B a b s t r a c t The a + b alloy Ti-6Al-4V (wt.%) and the boron-modified Ti-6Al-4V-1B (wt.%), due to their low activation, corrosion resistance, good mechanical properties, and their commercial availability, were chosen as candidate materials for the beam dump for the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIBs) at Michigan State University: a new generation accelerator with high power heavy ion beams. Through this study our goal is to establish the first irradiation data of the recently developed Ti-6Al-4V-1B (wt.%) alloy and investigate the changes in microstructure and mechanical properties of Ti-6Al-4V due to swift heavy ion (SHI) irradiation damage. The results of hardness measurements showed that the studied Ti-6Al-4V (wt.%) and Ti-6Al-4V-1B (wt.%) alloy, under the specified irradiation conditions, exhibited a high irradiation resistance. In fact, only a slight hardening was observed ($13%) in the tested samples and no changes in the microstructure were observed. Temperature, dose and electronic excitation effects were also discussed.
