Channeling and Blocking Effects in Crystals

refer to the orientation dependence of ion penetration in crystals.

Channeling:

Ions incident upon the crystal along symmetry axis and planes suffer a series

  • f

small-angle scattering that maintain them in the open“channels” and penetrate much further (ions do not get close to lattice sites)

Blocking:

Reduction

  • f

the flux

  • f

ions

  • riginating

in lattice sites along symmetry axis and planes (“blocking dip”) (From D. Gemmell 1974, Rev. Mod. Phys. 46, 129)

Channeling and blocking in crystals is used in

  • studies of lattice disorder
  • ion implantation
  • to locate dopant and impurity atoms
  • studies of surfaces and interfaces
  • measurement of nuclear lifetimes
  • production of polarized beams... etc
  • channeling is to be avoided in ion implantation in Si to make circuits:

good data at ∼ 100‘s keV (and analytic models by Gerhard Hobler (Vienna University of Technology)-1995)

Channeling effect observed in NaI(Tl) Altman et.al 1973

Channeled ions produce more scintillation light (because they loose most of their energy via electronic stopping rather than nuclear stopping)

Channeling effect in DM detection:

The potential importance of the channeling effect for direct DM detection was first pointed

  • ut in stilbene crystals by H. Sekiya et al. (2003) and

subsequently for NaI (Tl) by Drobyshevski (2007) and by the DAMA collaboration (2008). When ions recoiling after a collision with a WIMP move along crystal axes and planes, they give their energy to electrons, so Q = 1 instead of QI = 0.09 and QNa = 0.3

Daily-Modulation due to Channeling:

  • H. Sekiya et al. (2003); Avignone, Creswick, Nussinov (2008)
  • The WIMP wind comes preferentially from one direction
  • When that direction is aligned with a channel, the scintillation or ionization output is

larger

  • Earth’s rotation makes the WIMP wind change direction with respect to the crystal,

which produces a daily modulation in the measured recoil energy (equivalent to a modulation of the quenching factor)

This daily modulation would be a background free DM signature!

Nassim Bosognia, Paolo Gondolo and I set out more than a year ago to do an analytic calculation to understand channeling and blocking for DM detection, and estimate daiy modulation amplitudes...

Channeling probability of ions ejected from lattice sites

  • Recoiling nuclei start at or close to lattice sites
  • Blocking effects are important
  • In a perfect lattice no recoil would be channeled (“rule of reversibility”).
  • However, there are channeled recoils due to lattice vibrations! Collision

may happen when nucleus is somewhat within the channel, with prob. g(ρ) = ρ

u2

1e(−ρ2/2u2 1) thus PCh =

ρi,min drg(ρ) = e(−ρ2

i,min/2u2 1)

and ρi,min is given by ρc (uncertainty in ρc is exponentiated in PCh)

  • Recoiling nucleus leaves an empty lattice site.

Two main T effects: amplitude u1(T) increases with T which increases channneling prob.- but rc also increases with T what decreases the prob.

Conclusions:

  • The channeling of recoiling lattice ions and incident ions is different. The

effect of blocking is important to understand the channeling of recoil nuclei: the channeled fraction of recoils is smaller and it is strongly temperature dependent (so it is negligible at mK).

  • Channeling in crystaline detectors can lead to a daily modulation of

a WIMP signal, a DM signature without any background (Avignone, Creswell & Nussinov 2008) (with small amplitudes- but larger for halo components with small velocity dispersion)

  • Analytic models give good qualitative results but need data/simulations

to get good quantitative results (not available or NaI). Montecarlo simulations may be needed to settle these issues (many are used in other applications of channeling).
