Luminescence Properties of ZrO: Ti Ceramics Irradiated with Electrons and High-Energy Xe Ions.

Samples of ZrO ceramics with different concentrations of impurity titanium ions were synthesized by mixing zirconium and titanium oxide powders in different mass ratios. The X-ray diffraction analysis was used to determine the phase composition, lattice parameters, and crystallite size of the ceramics with varying dopant concentrations. Upon irradiation of the samples with 220 MeV Xe ions to a fluence of 10 ions/cm, a decrease in the intensity of the pulsed cathodoluminescence band at 2.

Synthesis of Orthorhombic Tin Dioxide Nanowires in Track Templates.

Electrochemical deposition into a prepared SiO/Si-p ion track template was used to make orthorhombic SnO vertical nanowires (NWs) for this study. As a result, a SnO-NWs/SiO/Si nanoheterostructure with an orthorhombic crystal structure of SnO nanowires was obtained. Photoluminescence excited by light with a wavelength of 240 nm has a low intensity, arising mainly due to defects such as oxygen vacancies and interstitial tin or tin with damaged bonds.

Unveiling the Structural and Optical Properties of MgAlO Single Crystals Irradiated by Swift Heavy Ions.

A synthetic single crystal of magnesium-aluminate spinel was irradiated perpendicularly to the (111) plane with swift heavy xenon ions with an energy of 220 MeV. The modified layer was attested based on Raman scattering spectra recorded while focusing on the surface. A decrease in surface crystallinity was observed, reflected in the changes in fundamental optical characteristics such as the band gap and the energies of static and dynamic disorder.

Optical Characteristics of MgAlO Single Crystals Irradiated by 220 MeV Xe Ions.

In In this study, the optical properties of magnesium-aluminate spinel were examined after being irradiated with 220 MeV Xe ions. The research aimed to simulate the impact of nuclear fuel fission fragments on the material. The following measurements were taken during the experiments: transmission spectra in the IR region (190-7000) nm, optical absorption spectra in the range (1.
