摘要
In this paper, alpha-Al2O3/Cr2O3 nano-multilayered composite films were studied due to excellent properties of alpha-Al2O3 and template effect of Cr2O3 for the synthesis of alpha-Al2O3 at low temperature. SRIM code was used to simulate the irradiation damage of alpha-Al2O3 /Cr2O3 multilayer films with different single layer thicknesses caused by 60 keV He+, in order to find out a better design of the structure of the multilayer film. alpha-Al2O3/Cr2O3 nano-multilayered films with different single layer thickness were deposited by RF magnetron reactive sputtering on Si (100) at 400 degrees C with Cr2O3 layers as crystallographic templates. The films were injected by 60 keV He with fluences of 0.5 x 10(17), 1 x 10(17) and 2 x 10(17) He/cm(2) at temperature about 573 K to study the microstructural development and surface morphology evolution of alpha-Al2O3/alpha-Al(2)O(3)nano-multilayer films. The simulation results along with the SEM investigation indicated that to obtain better irradiation tolerance, one should design a multilayer with a high proportion of alpha-Al2O3 and more interfaces. The experimental results showed that the microstructures of the alpha-Al2O3 (100 nm)/Cr2O3 (60 nm) multilayers were nano -polycrystalline and remained stable even as the radiation fluences increase to 1 x 10(17) He/cm(2). This suggests the excellent irradiation tolerance of alpha-Al2O3 (100 nm)/Cr2O3 (60 nm) nano-multilayered composite films. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
