Notes:
Monoclinic zirconia samples were irradiated with 300 MeV Ge and Ni ions at increasing ion fluences. Their structural evolution was monitored in situ by x-ray diffraction and ex situ by Raman spectroscopy. No amorphization of zirconia was observed in both cases. However, a transition from the monoclinic to the tetragonal phase was found in the case of Ge ion irradiation. On the contrary, no such effect was detected upon Ni ion irradiation. A comparison of these experiments indicates that the electronic energy loss released by swift heavy ion irradiation needs to be quite in excess of ∼12 keV nm−1 in order to induce a monoclinic to a tetragonal phase transition in pure (i.e., unstabilized) zirconia. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.
