High electronic excitations in radiation of metallic targets with swift heavy ion beams at the coulomb barrier play a dominant role in the damaging processes of some metals. The inelastic thermal spike model was developed to describe tracks in materials and is applied in this paper to some systems beams/targets employed recently in some nuclear physics experiments. Taking into account the experimental conditions and the approved electron-phonon coupling factors, the results of the calculation enable to interpret the observation of the fast deformation of some targets.

The effect of irradiation with heavy ions Ne, Ar, and Kr of various energies on the structure and properties of ceramic barium cerate doped with neodymium and annealed in air at 650°C for 7 hours is studied. It is noted that blistering was observed on cerate surface during its irradiation by low energy Ne ions, whereas it was not observed under low-energy Ar and Kr ions irradiation. Irradiation of the cerate with high energy ions caused partial amorphization of the irradiated surface of the material, while the structure of the non-irradiated surface did not change. In addition, the irradiated surface of the cerate endured solid-phase structural changes. Thus, upon high-energy ions irradiation in the range of Ne, Ar, Kr the cerate surface resembled the stages of spherulite formation - nucleation, growth (view of cauliflower), formation of spherulitic crust, respectively. The increase in water molecules release and reduction of molecular oxygen release from the barium cerate, irradiated by high-energy ions is found during vacuum constant rate heating. It is concluded that cerates undergo changes to the distances significantly exceeding the ion ranges in these materials. Features of high-energy ions influence on thermal desorption of carbon dioxide from cerates show, apparently, the formation of weakly bound carbonate compounds on the cerate surface in the irradiation process.

AbstractThe effect of pure electronic excitations (by ∼ 835 MeV Kr irradiation) on a stable icosahedral quasicrystal is compared with the effect of electronic excitations combined with the nuclear collisions (by 100 MeV Ni irradiation) occurring in a similar quasicrystal. The critical stopping power was kept at 1300 eV/Å for both the experiments. Under the pure electronic excitations, the R(φ)/R(0) [ratio of resistance at fluence φ and the resistance on the same piece with zero fluence) of quasicrystal goes through oscillatory changes, until at ∼ 1 × 1012 ions/cm2where this ratio drops considerably. The ex-situ XRD on the irradiated sample does show the evidence of degradation of the structure. In contrast, the Ni- irradiated sample shows an increase in resistivity after a critical fluence of 2.5 × 1013 ions/cm2, which remains constant for higher fluences. Corresponding defect annihilation effects are observed in the XRD of Ni- irradiated samples.
