Swift heavy ion irradiation induced microstructural transformation in selenium thin films

The structural, morphological and optical properties of selenium thin films are important for the application in electronic and optoelectronic devices. In the present work, the effect of annealing in vacuum at different temperatures (130 °C, 160 °C and 200 °C) and swift heavy ion irradiation (Ag 9+ ions with energy of 120 MeV) at different fluences (5 × 10 11 , 1 × 10 12 , 5 × 10 12 and 1 × 10 13 ions/cm 2 ) on various properties of thermally...
