Recently, we have developed two methods for solid phase epitaxial
regrowth (SPEG) of ion beam damaged α-quartz, namely chemically
guided SPEG [1,2] and dynamic SPEG [3]. In this report we present the
results of dynamic SPEG and optical properties of α-quartz
irradiated with 175 keV Ba ions with a fluence of 1x1015
ions/cm2 at temperatures in the range of RT - 900oC using the
Göttingen 500 kV ion implanter. Rutherford backscattering-channeling
analysis of Ba irradiated sample at RT shows the formation of a 170 nm
thick amorphous SiO2 layer on the sample surface. The thickness of
this amorphous layer decreases with increasing temperature during
irradiation. At 850 - 900oC when ion irradiation-induced damage and
dynamic thermal annealing compensate each other, Ba irradiation produces
almost no damage in α-quartz. The cathodoluminescence analyses show
the blue luminescence in all the samples irradiated above 600oC. In
addition to this, a peak in the violet range also appears in the samples
irradiated above 800oC.
