120 MeV swift Auion induced phase transition in ZrO: monoclinic to tetragonal and cubic to tetragonal structure.

This study reports the effect of 120 MeV swift Auion irradiation on the structures of monoclinic, tetragonal and cubic ZrO, probed through x-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy. Three phases of ZrOwere prepared using the solution combustion method. The tetragonal and cubic phases of ZrOwere stabilized at room temperature by adding 6% and 10% of yttrium ions, respectively.
