Description

Oriented single crystals of synthetic alpha-alumina ({alpha}-Al{sub 2}O{sub 3}), geikielite (MgTiO{sub 3}) natural ilmenite (FeTiO{sub 3}) were irradiated with 200 keV argon ions under cryogenic conditions (100 K) to assess their damage response. Using Rutherford backscattering spectrometry combined with ion channeling techniques, it was found that ilmenite amorphized readily at doses below 5{times}10{sup 14}, alumina amorphized at a dose of 1-2{times}{sup 15}, and geikielite was amorphized at {approximately}2{times}10{sup 15} Ar cm{sup {minus}2}. The radiation damage response of the ilmenite crystal may be complicated by the presence of hematite exsolution lamellae and the experimentally induced oxidation of iron. The relative radiation-resistance ... continued below

The radiation damage response of the ilmenite crystal may be complicated by the presence of hematite exsolution lamellae and the experimentally induced oxidation of iron. The relative radiation-resistance of geikielite holds promise for similar behavior in other Mg-Ti oxides.
