Abstract

Pyrochlores based on the general composition CaLnZrNbO7 (where Ln = La, Nd, Sm, Gd and Ho) have been prepared, and irradiated through the crystalline-amorphous transition, with 1 MeV Kr ions at the IVEM-TANDEM user facility. The obtained critical temperatures show a decrease from La to Gd (∼680 K to ∼230 K), with Ho being resistant to amorphisation at 50K. The results suggest that the amorphisation cross section for these materials is directly related to the Ln component.
