- Abstract
- Upon implantating of Xe ions into silicon nitride ceramic at 800 degrees C, the precipitation of Xe at grain boundaries (GBs) was observed. Transmission electron microscopy, high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy, and electron energy-loss spectroscopy analyses showed that the precipitates at GBs were amorphous Xe nanoparticles. The Xe precipitates grew and coalesced with each other upon post implantation annealing. Crack paths that formed in the samples clue to ex situ mechanical stress with and Without Xe implantation were also investigated, and the change in crack paths by the presence or the evaporation of Xe precipitates at GB was confirmed.
