Abstract

An electric field has been imposed on single crystals of pure and doped LiNbO3 during bombardment with 1.03 MeV protons and 2.1 MeV alpha particles. Simultaneous (p,p), (p,α) and (p,p'γ) channeling between the crystal planes showed that the channeling is less pronounced when an electric field of 106 volts/m is imposed perpendicular to the incident ion beam direction and to the channeling planes in the crystal. The results obtained are discussed and compared to the effects due to the fringe field outside the crystal, differential cation-anion movement, movement of interplanar impurities, the piezoelectric strain and movement or creation of crystal defects on ion channeling.
