ABSTRACTIon beam irradiation of Glassy Carbon is shown to increase its resistivity by up to eight orders of magnitude. These changes in resistivity are correlated with results obtained from Raman spectroscopy and Reflection High Energy Electron Diffraction. At high doses of C implantation there is convincing evidence that ion beam irradiation partially graphitizes the surface of Glassy Carbon.

AbstractSiC thin films were formed on Si (111) at growth temperatures of 750–1000 °C using the molecular ion beam technique, with a precursor of methylsilicenium ions (SiCH3+). The chemical bindings and surface structures of SiC thin films were analyzed by Raman spectroscopy and reflection high-energy electron diffraction. As a result, 3C-SiC (111) was grown on Si (111) substrates without carbonized treatments.

ABSTRACTRecent results on the effects of high energy ion beam irradiation in polymer films are reviewed in this paper. High energy ions (>10 keV/amu) deposit a large amount of energy (∼several cV/atom) in ionizing the electrons of the target atoms. This results in significant destruction of bonds in the films as a result of which polymers undergo rapid dissociation. Using a quadrupole mass spectrometer the study of transient emission of molecular species produced by an ion pulse has been shown to yield information about the diffusion and reaction kinetics of various molecules in the polymer. The fact that polymers undergo dissociation and those atoms which form volatile species are selectively depleted from the film could be utilized in producing useful inorganic composites by ion bombardment of polymers. For example, hard SiC composite films have been produced by ion beam irradiation of organo-silicon polymers. Eventually, polymer dissociation leads to a predominately carbon containing film which exhibits interesting electronic transport properties. Experiments on ion irradiated, pure carbon films indicate that a metallic form of carbon is produced from the polymer films at high irradiation doses.

ABSTRACTThe electrical properties of pyrolyzed polymers have been studied recently.1,2 It has been shown that organic, polymeric3 and non-polymeric4 films can be made conductive (ρ ~ 10−3Ωcm) by ion beam irradiation. Common to all of the films was the presence of carbon as a constituent element and both pyrolysis and ion beam irradiation3 was shown to increase the relative carbon content of the films. The ion beam irradiated organic films 3,4 exhibited a temperature dependence of their resistivity of the form ρ(T) = ρ∞e−(TЛ)*, where ρ is the ion-induced resistivity, ρ∞ and T0 are constants and T is the temperature. At very high doses of irradiation (1017cm−2Ar+@ 2MeV) the film resistivity was temperature independent. Very similar transport properties were observed in the pyrolyzed polymers1 as well, though the lowest resistivities achieved were higher than the resistivity values observed in the ion irradiated3 polymer films. In both the pyrolysis and ion-irradiation experiments the temperature dependence has been explained by a model due to Sheng and Abeles,5 which involves charge transport by hopping between conducting islands embedded in an insulating matrix. Such striking similarities between two distinctly different modes of energy deposition in the films, prompted us to compare the effects of pyrolysis and ion irradiation in different carbon containing films. We compared both a polymer (HPR-204°) and a film of electron beam evaporated carbon film. While in the former case one would observe chemical degradation as well as structural modification, by studying pure carbon films the physical nature of the processes could be clarified. We report metallic carrier densities in both films and evidence for significant structural rearrangement. We conclude that pyrolysis and ion beam irradiation have similar effects on both polymer and carbon films.

ABSTRACTElectron and ion irradiation-induced nanostructures in an iron phosphate glass with a composition of 45 mol%Fe2O3-55 mol%P2O5 have been characterized by advanced electron microbeam techniques. Analysis by energy-filtered transmission electron microscopy indicated that Fe-rich and P-rich nanophases were formed when the glass was irradiated under a broad (with a diameter of 1.2μm) electron beam [give the dose range]. Phase separation developed with the increase in electron dose (from 1.0×1026e/m2 to 4.8×1026e/m2) as a result of the formation of an Fe-rich phase and pure P-phase. The formation of the Fe-rich and the P-phases are thought to be due to mainly ionization process. Under a low energy ion beam irradiation, Fe/FeO nanoparticles were formed, as confirmed by selected-area electron diffraction analysis. However, no nanoparticles were observed under a high-energy high-dose ion irradiation. The ion beam-irradiation results suggest that the formation of the Fe/FeO nanoparticles was due to preferential sputtering during ion irradiation and that the nanoparticles lie within the surface layers of the glass.
