Abstract
However, the damage in YSZ under the ion irradiation hasstill not been fully understood and especially, little attentionhas been given to the study of proton-implanted YSZ. In thisstudy, we investigated the proton-induced change in themicrostructure and the optical properties of YSZ by XRDand UV-vis spectroscopy.The sintered pellets are white and 800 μm thick. The SEMimage of the pellet shows few pores. This result is in chimewith the fact that the density measured by Archimedes’method is greater than 98% of the theoretical density. Uponirradiation with 120 keV proton beams, the front surface ofthe pellet turns into pale purple while its back side remainsunchanged. As the fluence increases, the color gets darkerand finally becomes black at the fluence of 1 × 10
