In this work we present in situ investigations on the increase of the hcp-to-fcc transition temperature for Co with respect to the bulk value (420 °C) when nanoclusters are considered. Starting from Co:SiO2 composites obtained by ion implantation with average Co cluster size of about 5 nm, a transition temperature between 800 °C and 900 °C is found upon thermal annealing in vacuum by in situ transmission electron microscopy. Preliminary results on electron irradiation to promote the transition at lower temperatures are presented.

Abstract
In this work we present in situ investigations on the increase of the hcp-to-fcc transition temperature for Co with respect to the bulk value (420 °C) when nanoclusters are considered. Starting from Co:SiO2 composites obtained by ion implantation with average Co cluster size of about 5 nm, a transition temperature between 800 °C and 900 °C is found upon thermal annealing in vacuum by in situ transmission electron microscopy. Preliminary results on electron irradiation to promote the transition at lower temperatures are presented.File in questo prodotto:
