Abstract
The effects of swift heavy ions in bulk solid targets have been extensively studied. Some effects are specifically related with the large densities of energy absorbed by the target electron gas in the projectile wake. One remarkable effect observed in the present work is the crystalline solid state phase transition of Y 2O 3 as a result of ionizing irradiation by GeV heavy ions. Our X-ray diffraction measurements give the first evidence of the cubic to monoclinic transformation of Y 2O 3 under high energy heavy ion irradiation.
