The resultant changes in the cationic stoichiometry and oxygen content of the samples were investigated by cathodoluminescence (CL), secondary electron emission (SEE) and EDX microanalysis. ii depletion and Ba enrichment are observed in the irradiated areas. CL spectroscopy shows that irradiation causes the increase of a 540 nm emission band attributed to complex centres involving oxygen vacancies. Other features of the CL spectra strongly suggest the presence of radiation induced new phases. The SEE yield, Delta, has been found to depend on the oxygen content of the samples This dependence can be explained on the basis of two charge carrier subsystems and their mutual interaction, Measurements of ∆ allow us to detect an oxygen deficient region, sometimes extending up to a distance of about 1000 mu m, that surrounds the irradiated material.engjournal articlehttp://dx.doi.org/10.1088/0953-2048/9/9/010http://iopscience.iop.orgopen access538.9Magnetic-Properties.
