Ion Tracks and Nanohillocks Created in Natural Zirconia Irradiated with Swift Heavy Ions

Natural monoclinic zirconia (baddeleyite) was irradiated with 340 MeV Au ions, and the irradiation-induced nanostructures (i.e., ion tracks and nanohillocks) were observed using transmission electron microscopy. The diameter of the nanohillocks was approximately 10 nm, which was similar to the maxim...
