Abstract  

The effect of irradiation with swift heavy ion beam of 350 MeV 56Fe21+ on the internal structure characteristics of single crystal ZnO was investigated by means of Raman spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). It follows that two new vibration absorption peaks appeared in Raman spectra for the ZnO after irradiation. The results of characterization with different coaxial Raman incident lights proves that the vibration absorption peak at 576 cm-1 is closely related to the oxygen vacancy (V0). TEM images show that there exist many defects such as interstitial, vacancy and dislocation in the irradiated ZnO single crystal, but the electron diffraction patterns of which did not reveal any obvious amorphous wherein. It illustrates that the higher energy and irradiation dose will hardly impact the structure and properties of the entire ZnO. This has fully proved that ZnO single crystal with good resistance to swift heavy ion beam irradiation.

Fig.1  Raman spectra of 56Fe21+ irradiated and non-irradiated ZnO crystal were measured by Raman incident light along the z-axis of the crystal. The structure of wurtzite ZnO was shown in the figure. Raman peaks were represented by corresponding atomic vibrations (red arrows indicate the dominant atomic motion)
Fig.2  Raman spectra (incident light and scattered light are perpendicular to the z-axis[0001]) of ZnO single crystal by 1×1014 ions/cm256Fe21+ ion irradiated along the ion incident depth orientation[0001] (2、5、10、20、25、32、35 and 40 micron). The ZnO structure of wurtzite was shown in the figure, the Raman peak in the figure was represented by the corresponding vibration of atoms. (the motion of the dominant atom is indicated by the red arrow)
