Description

YSZ and YSZ-MgO thin films were deposited on Si (100) substrates using RF sputtering and RF-DC co-sputtering techniques and studied under low-energy heavy-ion irradiation. Two sets of films were prepared: YSZ sputtered in argon environment and YSZ and Mg co-sputtered in argon and oxygen environment. Irradiation studies show enhanced crystallinity in single-component YSZ and significant degradation of YSZ crystallinity in YSZ-MgO films. These results indicate a strong dependence of radiation response on composition of the material.
