Abstract

C-cut sapphire was implanted with 400 keV Co+ ions to doses of 3 × 1017/cm2 and 5 × 1017/cm2 and then annealed in air sequentially at 1273, 1373, and 1473 K. Before and after the annealing, the implanted surfaces were examined by RBS and XRD methods. A nearly homogeneous layer of 350 nm thickness was formed on the surface when sapphire was implanted to a dose of 5 × 1017/cm2 and then annealed at 1473 K. For sapphire implanted to a dose of 3 × 1017/cm2 and then annealed at 1473 K, the implanted layer had a complex structure: the top surface layer of 70 nm thickness was α-alumina with Co3+ ions at the substitutional sites and the near-surface layer (70 nm–300 nm) was a mixed phase of CoAl2O4 and α-alumina.
