Kurzbeschreibung (Abstract)

The morphology of swift heavy ion tracks in the Gd2Zr2−xTixO7 pyrochlore system has been investigated as a function of the variation in chemical composition and electronic energy loss, dE/dx, over a range of energetic ions: 58Ni, 101Ru, 129Xe, 181Ta, 197Au, 208Pb, and 238U of 11.1 MeV/u specific energy. Bright-field transmission electron microscopy, synchrotron X-ray diffraction, and Raman spectroscopy reveal an increasing degree of amorphization with increasing Ti-content and dE/dx. The size and morphology of individual ion tracks in Gd2Ti2O7 were characterized by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy revealing a core–shell structure with an outer defect-fluorite dominated shell at low dE/dx to predominantly amorphous tracks at high dE/dx. Inelastic thermal-spike calculations have been used together with atomic-scale characterization of ion tracks in Gd2Ti2O7 by high resolution transmission electron microscopy to deduce critical energy densities for the complex core–shell morphologies induced by ions of different dE/dx.
