Effect of lithium-ion irradiation on the crystallization kinetics of glassy Se98In2

Abstract

Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) has been used to study the crystallization kinetics of glassy Se98In2 both before and after irradiation of the alloy with high-energy (50 MeV) lithium ions. After the ion-irradiation, significant changes in the kinetic parameters of crystallization of the glass were observed. The results are explained in terms of a model involving irradiation-induced defects.
