Abstract

Self supporting thin films of amorphous alumina and zirconia were irradiated with light and heavy ions at various temperatures(25–430°C). Irradiation was found to result in the formation of 10–30 nm large grains well below conventional crystallization temperatures. These grains were quite stable against subsequent thermal growth. Crystallization, grain size, and growth depended on ion species as well as on ‘stabilizing’ additives (yttria or Pt).
