Abstract

Single crystalline samples of bismuth tellurite (Bi2TeO5) were implanted with 800 keV Au+ions to a fluence of 1×1016 cm-2 atroom temperature. The samples were subjected to heat treatments in twodifferent ambients (air and high vacuum) at temperatures ranging from 400 -700°C in a conventional furnace. Strong absorption maxima in the range from600 - 630 nm in the optical absorption spectra and an intense blue-greencolor in the samples were observed for annealings performed in air attemperatures between 500 and 700°C indicating the formation of goldcolloids. The average radii of the Au clusters formed were estimated to bein the range of 3-4 nm. Samples annealed under vacuum showed distinctchanges in color for different annealing temperatures. Studies using theRBS/channeling technique indicate that no full recrystallization of thesamples was achieved under both annealing regimes although heat treatmentunder vacuum provides a significantly better lattice recovery than for airambient.
