Abstract

In this letter, we report precipitation of nanometer scale Zn crystalline particles in Zn borosilicate glass induced by 100 keV electron irradiation. Nanometer Zn crystalline particles precipitate rapidly in the glass under high intensity electron irradiation. A double ionization mechanism is proposed in interpretation of the formation of Zn particles. Thermal effects are less important than ionization interactions.
