Abstract
A new method to convert 12CaO·7Al2O3 (C12A7) thin films to electronic conductor by hot Ar+ ion implantation has been developed and its mechanism is discussed. It was found that hot Ar + ion implantation extruded free O2- ions in C12A7 films by kick-out effects at fluences higher than 1×1017 cm -2, which left electrons in the cages embedded in C12A7 crystal and produced high concentration F+-like centers (∼1.4×10 21 cm-3). The resulting films show coloration and persistent electronic conduction with conductivities up to ∼1 Scm -1. On the other hand, fluences less than 1×1017 cm-2 kept the films transparent and insulating.
