Mechanical properties of fluorite-related oxides subjected to swift ion irradiation: Pyrochlore and zirconia
Abstract
The modifications of the mechanical properties of related-fluorite oxides (cubic zirconia [c-ZrO2] and pyrochlores [Gd2(Ti1−xZrx)2O7 with x=0.5 and x=1]) induced by swift heavy ion irradiation are investigated. Polycrystalline pellets of both materials were irradiated at room temperature with 940MeV Pb or 870MeV Xe ions at the GANIL accelerator in Caen at fluences ranging from 2×1011 to 1013 cm−2. Residual macroscopic stresses induced by …
