SAXS investigations of the morphology of swift heavy ion tracks in α-quartz

Abstract: The morphology of swift heavy ion tracks in crystalline α-quartz was investigated using small angle x-ray scattering (SAXS), molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and transmission electron microscopy. Tracks were generated by irradiation with heavy ions with energies between 27 MeV and 2.2 GeV. The analysis of the SAXS data indicates a density change of the tracks of ~2 ± 1% compared to the surrounding quartz matrix for all irradiation conditions. The track radii only show a weak dependence on the electronic ene… Show more

“…The solid lines in figure 2 represent the analytical fits to this model. A more detailed description of the model can be found in elsewhere [13,14]. From the fits in figure 2, the average latent track radius measured by SAXS for Durango apatite irradiated with 2.3 GeV Bi ions is 5.00±0.08 nm which consistent with the previous studies for apatite [15,16].…”

“…For all stopping powers tested the number of defects and the resulting track radii calculated using C e (T e ) from the free electron gas model are substantially greater than when using C e (T e ) determined via DFT. Figure 6b suggests that when DFT is used to parameterise the specific heat, the change in the track radius as a function of stopping power reproduces the relationship observed in experimental studies of other semiconductors [5,6,7] and insulators [1,2,3]. The free electron model, on the other hand, shows a linear relationship between track radius and electronic stopping power.…”

Las secciones eficaces obtenidas con dinámica molecular (símbolos abiertos) con un radio del cilindro caliente a = 3.5 nm se han calculado con ayuda del código Ovito (azul) teniendo en cuenta toda la región afectada por el paso del ion y mediante el cálculo de la variación de densidad (rojo).…”

“…58 Recientemente, hay bastantes trabajos que reportan el uso de iones pesados de alta energía para elongar nanopartículas de plata, 59,60 oro, [61][62][63][64] zinc, 65,66 y níquel. 67 Desafortunadamente, la física que explica la transformación de esfera a rodillo no ha sido completamente entendida, incluso si ha sido ampliamente estudiada 68,69,226 y se han propuesto algunos modelos fenomenológicos. 70,71 Una de las principales causas de este desconocimiento es la falta de información durante los estados intermedios de deformación.…”
