摘要: Abstract We report here the response of in situ formed Si-nanostructures embedded Si-rich hydrogenated amorphous silicon nitride matrix to 100 MeV Ni8+ ions irradiation under normal incidence at room temperature. Prior irradiation, are nature having partial crystallinity. Irradiation with a fluence 5 × 1012 ions/cm2 leads dissolution Si-nanostructures. Nevertheless, relatively higher 1 × 1014 ions/cm2 enhances nucleation and formation The results understood on basis intense electronic energy loss induced hydrogen desorption consequent rearrangement network thermal spike formalism ion–material interaction.
