Phase transformation and enhanced blue photoluminescence of zirconium oxide poly-crystalline thin film induced by Ni ion beam irradiation

Abstract Swift heavy ions (SHI) irradiation of Nickel (Ni) beam with different ions fluence bring the modifications in the functional properties of radio frequency (RF) grown zirconium oxide (ZrO2) nanocrystalline thin films. X-ray diffraction analysis affirms the monoclinic to tetragonal phase tran...
