Effects of 450 MeV Kr Swift Heavy Ion Irradiation on GaN-Based Terahertz Schottky Barrier Diodes [PDF]
GaN-based terahertz (THz) Schottky barrier diodes (SBDs) are critical components for achieving high-power performance in THz frequency multipliers. However, the space applications of GaN-based THz SBDs are significantly constrained due to insufficient ...

Robust water repellent ZnO nanorod array by Swift Heavy Ion Irradiation: Effect of Electronic Excitation Induced Local Chemical State Modification [PDF]
Tailoring the surface properties by varying the chemistry and roughness could be of interest for self-cleaning applications. We demonstrate the transformation of hydrophobic ZnO Nano rod (NR) array into superhydrophobic nature by changing the local ...

Comprehensive Understanding of Hillocks and Ion Tracks in Ceramics Irradiated with Swift Heavy Ions
Amorphizable ceramics (LiNbO3, ZrSiO4, and Gd3Ga5O12) were irradiated with 200 MeV Au ions at an oblique incidence angle, and the as-irradiated samples were observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM).

Study of Swift Heavy Ion Modified Conducting Polymer Composites for Application as Gas Sensor [PDF]
A polyaniline-based conducting composite was prepared by oxidativepolymerisation of aniline in a polyvinylchloride (PVC) matrix. The coherent free standingthin films of the composite were prepared by a solution casting method.

Swift heavy ion tracks in nanocrystalline Y4Al2O9
We report the first results of a TEM study of structural changes induced by high energy xenon and bismuth ions in Y4Al2O9 nanoparticles (10 to 100 nm grain size) in the range of electronic stopping powers 6 ÷ 35 keV/nm.

Review of Swift Heavy Ion Irradiation Effects in CeO2
Cerium dioxide (CeO2) exhibits complex behavior when irradiated with swift heavy ions. Modifications to this material originate from the production of atomic-scale defects, which accumulate and induce changes to the microstructure, chemistry, and ...

Ionoacoustic detection of swift heavy ions [PDF]
The maximum energy loss (Bragg peak) located near the end of range is a characteristic feature of ion stopping in matter, which generates an acoustic pulse, if ions are deposited into a medium in adequately short bunches. This so-called ionoacoustic effect has been studied for decades, mainly for astrophysical applications, and it has recently found ...
