Ion beam Irradiation-induced Amorphization of Nano-sized KxLnyTa2O7-v Tantalate Pyrochlore

Nano-sized (~10-15 nm) tantalate pyrochlores KxLnyTa2O7-v (Ln = Gd, Y, and Lu) were irradiated with 1 MeV Kr2+ beams at different temperatures and their radiation response behaviors were studied by in-situ TEM observations. All of these nano-sized KxLnyTa2O7-v pyrochlores are sensitive to radiation-...
