【 摘 要 】

Ion irradiation has been a popular method to modify properties of different kinds of materials. Ion irradiated crystals have been studied for years, but the effects on microstructure and optical properties during irradiation process are still controversial. In this paper, we used 6 MeV C ions with a fluence of 1 x 10(15) ion/cm(2) irradiated Y2SiO5 (YSO) crystal at room temperature, and discussed the influence of C ion irradiation on the microstructure, mechanical and optical properties of YSO crystal by Rutherford backscattering/channeling analyzes (RBS/C), X-ray diffraction patterns (XRD), Raman, nano-indentation test, transmission and absorption spectroscopy, the prism coupling and the end-facet coupling experiments. We also used the secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) to analyze the elements distribution along sputtering depth. 6 MeV C ions with a fluence of 1 x 10(15) ion/cm(2) irradiated caused the deformation of YSO structure and also influenced the spectral properties and lattice vibrations.
