A series of（Gd_（1-x）Nd_x）_2（Zr_（1-y）Ce_y）_2 O_7（0 ≤ x, y ≤ 1） ceramics were irradiated with a 500 keV He ions at room temperature at fluences ranging from 1 × 10^（15） to 1 × 10^（17） ions/cm^2. The irradiated samples were characterized using GIXRD, Raman and SEM measurements. From the GIXRD and Raman observations, the results indicate that all the samples display a deficient fluorite structure after irradiation. The irradiation toleration increases with the irradiation depth increasing under experimental conditions, and Nd_2 Ce_2 O_7 has the best irradiation stability in the（Gd_（1-x）Nd_x）_2（Zr_（1-y）Ce_y）_2 O_7（0≤ x. y≤1）. Based on SEM results, the irradiated samples are still relatively dense and uniform, and no second phase exists.展开更多
