Abstract
Mesoporous silica materials are pivotal in various scientific domains due to their unique properties and versatile applications. However, understanding their response to irradiation, particularly from Swift Heavy Ions (SHI), remains limited. We address this gap by investigating experimental mesoporous silica behavior under 12 MeV Carbon and 92 MeV Xenon bombardment using the Three-Dimensional Thermal Spike Model (3DTS) simulation. Our computational simulations reveal localized heating effects and provide mechanistic insights into experimental observations, shedding light on pore closure and different observed damage patterns. This study is the first application of this model to porous silica and deepens our knowledge of the mechanism of structural evolution under ion bombardment.
期刊介绍：
Section B of Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research covers all aspects of the interaction of energetic beams with atoms, molecules and aggregate forms of matter. This includes ion beam analysis and ion beam modification of materials as well as basic data of importance for these studies. Topics of general interest include: atomic collisions in solids, particle channelling, all aspects of collision cascades, the modification of materials by energetic beams, ion implantation, irradiation - induced changes in materials, the physics and chemistry of beam interactions and the analysis of materials by all forms of energetic radiation. Modification by ion, laser and electron beams for the study of electronic materials, metals, ceramics, insulators, polymers and other important and new materials systems are included. Related studies, such as the application of ion beam analysis to biological, archaeological and geological samples as well as applications to solve problems in planetary science are also welcome. Energetic beams of interest include atomic and molecular ions, neutrons, positrons and muons, plasmas directed at surfaces, electron and photon beams, including laser treated surfaces and studies of solids by photon radiation from rotating anodes, synchrotrons, etc. In addition, the interaction between various forms of radiation and radiation-induced deposition processes are relevant.
