The study reveals that irradiation of ZrO2 ceramics with Kr15+ and Xe23+ heavy ions causes phase transformations in the crystal lattice, with an increase in irradiation dose leading to a higher degree of phase transformation. Additionally, changes in strength and optical characteristics are related to the type of irradiation and dose load.
This work is devoted to the study of the effect of irradiation with Kr15+ and Xe23+ heavy ions with energies of 147 and 220 MeV, respectively, on the change in the optical, structural and strength properties of ceramics ZrO2. Polycrystalline ZrO2 ceramics with a tetragonal type of crystal structure, which are highly resistant to external influences, mechanical strength to cracking, and hardness were chosen as the object of research. The choice of heavy ions Kr15+ and Xe23+ is due to the possibility of simulating the effect of nuclear fission fragments in an atomic reactor, and the choice of irradiation doses of 1 x 10(13)-1 x 10(14) ion/cm(2) is due to the possibility of simulating the effects of overlapping defect regions arising along the trajectory of ions in the material. Using the X-ray diffraction method, it was found that in the case of irradiation with heavy ions, an increase in the radiation dose leads to phase transformations of the tetragonal type of the crystal lattice into a cubic one. In this case, for the samples irradiated with Xe23+ ions at an irradiation dose of 1 x 10(14) ion/cm(2), an almost complete phase transformation is observed. Dependences of changes in strength and optical characteristics on the type of irradiation and dose load have been established.
