Edmondson, P. D., Abrams, K. J., Hinks, J. A., Greaves, Graeme, Pawley, C. J., Hanif, I. and Donnelly, S. E. (2016) An in situ transmission electron microscopy study of the ion irradiation induced amorphisation of silicon by He and Xe. Scripta Materialia, 113. pp. 190-193. ISSN 1359-6462
Abstract

Transmission electron microscopy with in situ ion irradiation has been used to examine the ionbeam-induced amorphisation of crystalline silicon under irradiation with light (He) and heavy (Xe) ions at room temperature. Analysis of the electron diffraction data reveal the heterogeneous amorphisation mechanism to be dominant in both cases. The differences in the amorphisation curves are discussed in terms of intra-cascade dynamic recovery, and the role of electronic and nuclear loss mechanisms.
