In situ monitoring of electrical resistance of nanoferrite thin film irradiated by 190 MeV Au14+ ions

TLDR
In this article, a highly resistive nanocrystalline thin film of Li0.25Mg0.5Mn0.1Fe2.15O4, deposited by RF magnetron sputtering technique on Si(1/0/0) substrate, is irradiated with 190 MeV Au14+ ions.
Abstract
A highly resistive nanocrystalline thin film of Li0.25Mg0.5Mn0.1Fe2.15O4, deposited by RF magnetron sputtering technique on Si(1 0 0) substrate, is irradiated with 190 MeV Au14+ ions. To probe the swift heavy ion induced modifications in the electrical properties in the film an in situ measurement of electrical resistance using two-probe method is carried out. We observe the value of resistivity comes down drastically from 1.5 × 108 to 1 × 105 Ω cm after irradiation at the fluence of 1 × 1013 ions/cm2. In XRD spectra after irradiation no previous spinel peaks are observed. No loss in oxygen content with fluence is observed. We have presented the observed phenomenon as an effect of formation of amorphized latent tracks on the basis of thermal spike model.

Tracks of high energy heavy ions in solids

TL;DR: In this paper, tracks of high energy heavy ions produced in some materials were made with electron microscope in order to clarify the governing factors and mechanisms for track formation, and correlations between the sizes of the tracks and the energy depositions of incident ions were examined for the tracks produced in the evaporated thin films of germanium, silicon and titanium, and crystals of MoO3 and MoS2.
