Abstract Scope |
The objective of this talk is to understand irradiation-induced multiscale ordering – from crystallization to hierarchical nanostructuring – in metal oxide ceramics. Irradiation is generally understood to create disorder in materials; in fact, irradiation-induced amorphization of ordered intermetallics and ceramics is a well-established phenomenon. But there is growing evidence supporting irradiation-induced self-organization of extended defects such as bubble superlattices. This talk will further investigate irradiation-induced ordering phenomena across the length scales ranging from atomic- through micro-scale, focusing specifically on titania (TiO2). At the nano/micro-scale, we will discuss irradiation-induced hierarchical ordering in single crystal anatase TiO2. This hierarchical structure is comprised of bubble superlattices within a multi-layered damage structure of dislocation loops and nanocrystallites. Subsequently, at the atomic scale, we will discuss irradiation-induced crystallization of amorphous TiO2 nanotubes, and their effect on morphological stability. Proposed irradiation-induced ordering mechanisms will be discussed in the context of metal oxide functionality. |
