Abstract

Eight perovskites of different compositions and pre-existing vacancy contents were irradiated with 1.5 MeV Kr+ ions using the HVEM-Tandem User Facility at Argonne National Laboratory. The critical dose of 1.5 MeV Kr+ ions for amorphisation (Dc) of NaNbO3, SrTiO3 and two natural perovskites varies with composition and may decrease with Na content. The D,c values of 5 members of the solid solution series from SrTiO3 to La0.67TiO3 do not exhibit a simple relationship with vacancy content: In particular, Dc(Sr0 7La0.2TiO3) is extraordinarily high (>170 × 1014 ions cm−2) compared to those of the other (Sr, La)-perovskites in the series, which have Dc values between 2.4 and 11 × 1014 ions cm−2.
