| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Thermally-induced structural changes of zirconium (Zr) ion irradiated α-Al2O3 (corundum type structure) was examined by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and x-ray diffraction. A cubic spinel metastable phase was formed adjacent to the corundum stable phase at the topmost layer of the ion irradiated specimen. It was confirmed that the structure change from the stable phase to the metastable phase occurs at temperatures ranging from 1073 K to 1273 K. On the other hand, ordinary spinel-to-corundum phase transformation was induced at >1473 K, and Zr was precipitated as ZrO2. High resolution TEM observations and nanobeam electron diffraction experiments revealed that the ZrO2 has the same crystal structure as the high-pressure phase.
