Mono-ion irradiation (5-MeV Xe²⁰⁺) and sequential irradiation scenario (5-MeV Xe²⁰⁺+ 250-keV H⁺) were performed with different doses. As the Xe-dose increased, both the hardness and the Young's modulus decreased until converging to saturation, and then the hardness tended to recover. The variations in mechanical properties and water contact angle of the 10B₂O₃‒36Fe₂O₃‒54P₂O₅ were more significant than those of the 40Fe₂O₃‒60P₂O₅, indicating inferior irradiation resistance. The hardness recovery was also observed in H-ion irradiation whose energy deposition is predominated by electronic interaction, while the boron doping weakened this phenomenon.

In this study, we establish a comprehensive small-scale database of LAS glass-ceramics, comprising 751 samples characterized by 27 compositions, nucleation temperature, nucleation time, crystallization temperature, crystallization time and 13 crystalline phases.
