Damage buildup in multilayer hexagonal boron nitride films under Ar ion bombardment
Ion irradiation can be used to modify properties of two-dimensional hexagonal boron nitride (2D-hBN). However, the behavior of multilayer 2D-hBN under ion bombardment remains essentially unexplored. Here, we systematically study the damage buildup in 40-nm-thick multilayer 2D-hBN films irradiated at room temperature with 500 keV Ar ions with doses up to 0.64 displacements per atom. Transmission electron microscopy, soft X-ray absorption spectroscopy, and Raman spectroscopy are employed to study effects of ion irradiation. Results reveal a monotonic buildup of damage that can be described by the phenomenological zero cascade overlap model. Compared to the behavior of other group-III nitride semiconductors, radiation damage in hBN is influenced by polymorphism, involving transitions between bonding configurations of hexagonal, cubic, and amorphous phases.
期刊介绍:
Scripta Materialia is a LETTERS journal of Acta Materialia, providing a forum for the rapid publication of short communications on the relationship between the structure and the properties of inorganic materials. The emphasis is on originality rather than incremental research. Short reports on the development of materials with novel or substantially improved properties are also welcomed. Emphasis is on either the functional or mechanical behavior of metals, ceramics and semiconductors at all length scales.
