Polycrystalline pyrochlore Lu2Ti2O7 pellets were irradiated with 600 key Kr3+ at room temperature and 723 K to a fluence of 4 x 10(15) ions/cm(2), corresponding to an average ballistic damage dose of 10 displacements per atom in the peak damage region. Irradiation-induced microstructural evolution was examined by grazing incidence X-ray diffraction, and cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy. Incomplete amorphization was observed in the sample irradiated at room temperature due to the formation of nano-crystal which has the identical structure of pyrochlore, and the formation of nano-crystal is attributed to the mechanism of epitaxial recrystallization. However, an ordered pyrochlore phase to a swelling disordered fluorite phase transformation is occurred for the Lu2Ti2O7 sample irradiated at 723 K, which is due to the disordering of metal cations and anion vacancies.
