TLDR

Abstract
Nanocrystalline Li0.25Mg0.5Mn0.1Fe2.15O4 ferrite thin films, prepared by R.F. magnetron sputtering technique, are irradiated with 190 MeV Au14+ ions. The significant behavioural changes in magnetic and electrical properties of thin films after swift heavy ion irradiation confirm the formation of stable defects. A transformation from ferrimagnetic to superparamagnetic behaviour is observed from CEMS (conversion electron Mossbauer spectroscopy) with increase in fluence from 2.5 × 1012 to 1 × 1013 ions/cm2. The resistivity initially increases after irradiation till the fluence reaches 1  × 1012 ions/cm2 and then reduces with further increase in fluence. We have also studied the X-ray diffraction pattern with fluence variation. A possible explanation of the above results on the basis of thermal spike model is presented. These effects are mainly due to amorphized latent tracks and variation in the cation distribution due to heavy ion irradiation.

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.
