Abstract

Nanocgstalline Pd and ZrO2 samples of theoretical density were irradiated with 4 MeV Kr+ions with doses up to 6.1017 ion/cm2. The irradiated samples were characterized by XRD, RBS, and TEM. Nanocrystalline ZrO2 shows no amorphisation and defect agglomeration after irradiation with Kr+ ions up to a dose of 2·1017 ions/cm2. A phase transformation from the monoclinic phase to a tetragonal phase could be observed. The comparison of irradiated n-Pd with a conventional polycrystalline Pd sample shows a reduced defect agglomeration in n-Pd. For n-Pd samples grain growth after irradiation experiments could be observed.
