Effect of composition on the behavior of pyrochlores irradiated with swift heavy ions
Abstract
A2B2O7 pyrochlores (zirconates with A=Gd, Nd, Sm or Eu, and a titanate Gd2Ti2O7) were irradiated with swift heavy ions in order to investigate the effects of the chemical composition on the structural changes induced by high electronic excitation. XRD results show that the structural modifications induced by irradiation with 119MeV U ions are strongly dependent on the sample composition: Gd2Ti2O7 is readily amorphized, whereas Gd2Zr2O7 is …
