Modification of Strength Properties of Oxide Materials by Ion Irradiation

Abstract:

The effect of ion irradiation on the strength characteristics of magnesium oxide and ceramics based on zirconia is studied. The MgO samples were a single crystal grown in an artificial manner. Samples of zirconium ceramics were prepared by ceramic technology. Irradiation of MgO crystals was carried out by Si⁺ ions (E = 150 keV), Fe⁺ (E = 70 keV), C⁺ (E = 50 keV) at room temperature. The fluence varied within the range (10¹⁶–10¹⁷) сm^–2. The modification of the investigated types of ceramics was carried out by ions Al⁺ (Е = 60 keV), Ar⁺ (Е= 60 keV), N⁺ (E = 50 keV). We used ion beams of microsecond duration and moderate power (the current density in the pulse was 3 10^-3 A/cm²). Fluence was 10¹⁷ cm^-2. The irradiation of the ceramics with an ion beam C⁺ (E = 50 keV) was also performed with nanosecond duration (τ = 50 ns). It is established that ionic irradiation of magnesium oxide leads to an increase in crack resistance and a critical stress intensity factor. Irradiation of ceramics leads to hardening of its near-surface layers.
