Materials Engineering with Swift Heavy Ions

  • Chapter
Swift Heavy Ions for Materials Engineering and Nanostructuring

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Materials Science ((SSMATERIALS,volume 145))

  • 1060 Accesses

Abstract

High energy heavy ions are proving to be important tools in the efforts to modify the properties of materials in a controlled fashion to provide possibility of making them functional for specific applications in planned developments towards futuristic technologies. Presently, research in this field is mostly of exploratory kind. Various types of materials are being irradiated with swift heavy ions and the effects of irradiation are being studied using the sophisticated characterization tools, such as XRD, RBS, ERDA, High resolution transmission microscopy, Photoluminescence spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared and Raman spectroscopy, SQUID, AFM, SEM, etc.
