Formation of nano-hillocks by impact of swift heavy ions on thin films of TiO2
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract Amorphous thin films of TiO2 are irradiated by swift heavy ion (SHI) beam. Surface topography is studied by atomic force microscopy (AFM). Formation of nanosized oblate hillocks on the surface of irradiated films is investigated by AFM studies. After irradiation, amorphous to crystalline phase transition is observed in glancing angle X-ray diffraction (GAXRD) and Raman spectroscopy studies. Photoluminescence (PL)-spectroscopy is carried out for optical characterization. Threshold value necessary for emergence of hillocks is estimated.
