Abstract

The temperature dependence of amorphization in a high-entropy pyrochlore, (Yb0.2Tm0.2Lu0.2Ho0.2Er0.2)2Ti2O7, under irradiation with 600 keV Xe ions has been studied using in situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The critical amorphization dose increases with temperature, and the critical temperature for amorphization is 800 K. At room temperature, the critical amorphization dose is larger than that previously determined for this pyrochlore under bulk-like 4 MeV Au ion irradiation but is similar to the critical doses determined in two other high-entropy titanate pyrochlores under 800 keV Kr ion irradiation using in situ TEM, which is consistent with reported behavior in simple rare-earth titanate pyrochlores.Graphical abstract
