Abstract

Yttrium orthosilicate Y₂SiO₅ crystals, a member of the silicate family, are versatile and multifunctional materials when doped with rare earth or transition metal ions. However, there have been limited investigations into the impact of ion irradiation on the crystal structure of Y₂SiO₅ crystals to date. In this paper, the effect of microstructure, mechanical and optical properties of Y₂SiO₅ crystal before and after different fluences of carbon ions irradiation was investigated utilizing complementary characterization techniques. The results indicate that carbon ion irradiation caused lattice disorder and damage, which resulted in structural deterioration and changes in optical properties, such as decrease in the optical band gap energy (from5.77 eV to 5.44 eV), changes in the effective refractive index (n_eff) which resulted in the formation of “well + barrier” type and “barrier” type waveguides. In addition, elastic modulus increased after carbon ion irradiation. The results will be helpful for understanding the damage study of the Y₂SiO₅ crystal with carbon ion irradiation and proving that ion beam techniques can be used for material modification.

碳离子辐照改变 Y2SiO5 晶体的微观结构、机械和光学特性

正硅酸钇 Y2SiO5 晶体是硅酸盐家族的一员，在掺杂稀土或过渡金属离子后，可成为用途广泛的多功能材料。然而，迄今为止，有关离子辐照对 Y2SiO5 晶体结构影响的研究还很有限。本文利用互补表征技术，研究了不同通量的碳离子照射前后对 Y2SiO5 晶体的微观结构、机械和光学性能的影响。结果表明，碳离子辐照造成晶格紊乱和损伤，导致结构退化和光学性能变化，如光带隙能降低（从 5.77 eV 降至 5.44 eV），有效折射率（neff）发生变化，形成 "井+势垒 "型和 "势垒 "型波导。此外，碳离子照射后弹性模量也有所增加。这些结果将有助于了解碳离子辐照对 Y2SiO5 晶体的损伤研究，并证明离子束技术可用于材料改性。

期刊介绍： Results in Physics is an open access journal offering authors the opportunity to publish in all fundamental and interdisciplinary areas of physics, materials science, and applied physics. Papers of a theoretical, computational, and experimental nature are all welcome. Results in Physics accepts papers that are scientifically sound, technically correct and provide valuable new knowledge to the physics community. Topics such as three-dimensional flow and magnetohydrodynamics are not within the scope of Results in Physics. Results in Physics welcomes three types of papers: 1. Full research papers 2. Microarticles: very short papers, no longer than two pages. They may consist of a single, but well-described piece of information, such as: - Data and/or a plot plus a description - Description of a new method or instrumentation - Negative results - Concept or design study 3. Letters to the Editor: Letters discussing a recent article published in Results in Physics are welcome. These are objective, constructive, or educational critiques of papers published in Results in Physics. Accepted letters will be sent to the author of the original paper for a response. Each letter and response is published together. Letters should be received within 8 weeks of the article''s publication. They should not exceed 750 words of text and 10 references.
