I. Sakaguchi et al., EFFECT OF SILICON IMPLANTATION AND ANNEALING ON OXYGEN IN Y3AL5O12, Materials science & engineering. B, Solid-state materials for advanced technology, 33(2-3), 1995, pp. 10-12
The change of O-18 and Si-28 profiles in Y3Al5O12 were measured by sec
ondary ion mass spectrometry. After Si implantation, it was observed t
hat the O-18 diffused into bulk either along the grain boundary or in
the volume. For annealed samples, the kinetic process at the discontin
uity boundary in the Si profile was observed and the enhanced diffusio
n of O by radiation damage in the implanted layer was estimated from t
he change of the O-18 profile.
