Abstract
When subjected to swift heavy ion (SHI) irradiation, a lattice acquires sufficient energy to induce desirable flaws in the material. In this study, the physiochemical properties of Sn-doped V2O5 (SVO) synthesized by a sol–gel process were thoroughly examined following irradiation with Ni+11 ions at 150 MeV energy and fluence of 2.51 × 1011 ions/cm2. The successful doping of Sn in V2O5 was confirmed by an increase in tensile strain, as revealed by the x-ray diffraction (XRD) spectrum, and the presence of characteristic peaks of constituent elements detected in the energy-dispersive x-ray (EDX) spectrum. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) and field-emission scanning microscopy (FESEM) images revealed an increase in surface roughness and transformation to an amorphous state, respectively. The Tauc plot indicated an increase in the electronic bandgap post-irradiation. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy analysis revealed a peak shift in the fingerprint region indicating a change in the vibrational energy of the involved molecular bonds. These findings highlight the potential of SHI irradiation for the tuning of material properties, paving the way for a wide range of functional applications of the material.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Electronic Materials (JEM) reports monthly on the science and technology of electronic materials, while examining new applications for semiconductors, magnetic alloys, dielectrics, nanoscale materials, and photonic materials. The journal welcomes articles on methods for preparing and evaluating the chemical, physical, electronic, and optical properties of these materials. Specific areas of interest are materials for state-of-the-art transistors, nanotechnology, electronic packaging, detectors, emitters, metallization, superconductivity, and energy applications.
Review papers on current topics enable individuals in the field of electronics to keep abreast of activities in areas peripheral to their own. JEM also selects papers from conferences such as the Electronic Materials Conference, the U.S. Workshop on the Physics and Chemistry of II-VI Materials, and the International Conference on Thermoelectrics. It benefits both specialists and non-specialists in the electronic materials field.
A journal of The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society.
