摘要
The ion-beam-induced crystalline-to-amorphous transition in monolithic beta-SiC has been studied as a function of irradiation temperature using the HVEM-Tandem Facility at Argonne National Laboratory. Specimens were irradiated with 1.5 MeV Xe+ ions over the temperature range from 40 to 550 K and the evolution of the amorphous state was followed in situ using the HVEM. At 40 K, the displacement dose for complete amorphization in P-SIC is 0.34 dpa and increases with temperature in two stages. The simultaneous recovery process associated with the high-temperature stage (above 200 K) has an activation energy of 0.097 +/- 0.019 eV. The critical temperature above which amorphization does not occur is 498 K under these irradiation conditions.
