Abstract:
Present work aims to investigate effect of 100 MeV oxygen ion irradiation on the vibrational modes of zinc ferrite nanoparticles. Nanosize zinc ferrite systems of different crystallite size ranging from 12-62 nm were irradiated at the fluence of 1×10(13) and 5×10(13) ions/cm(2). High resolution transmission electron micrograph study indicates the structural disorder induced by ion irradiation. Bands corresponding to various vibrational modes in Fourier transform infrared spectra exhibit changes and are affected by the crystallite size/microstructure of pristine samples. The irradiation induced changes are dominated for sample ZF1000.
