The Optical, Mechanical and Thermoluminescence properties of Single Aluminum Oxide crystal AL2O3 irradiated with heavy ions with energy about 1 MeV ion/amu are considered. The results will show that the optical absorption of the irradiated sample exhibits two peaks; a well resolved one at around 200 nm and another unresolved one around 260 nm. They will also show that the relative hardness increases with increasing ion doses and reaches a nearly constant value. The results will show that the Thermoluminescence exhibits different peaks at different temperatures for different ion doses.
