Abstract
In the present work, chemically synthesized cadmium selenide (CdSe) nanocrystals, which have a cubic lattice structure as per X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, has been irradiated with 120 MeV Ni10+ swift heavy ions (SHI) for the study of their structural modification. A significant change in the lattice structure has been found with different ion fluence of 120 MeV Ni10+ irradiation, which may be due to the high electronic energy loss of SHI. AFM analysis also shows changes in morphological properties with ion irradiation. The evolution of lattice structure with different fluence has been studied using double ion impact model. Further, SHI induced cubic to hexagonal transformation effect the microstructural parameters such as intrinsic strain, dislocation density of CdSe nanocrystals. SHI induced microstructural modifications have also been studied with the help of Variance model.
