“…These and other measurements culminated in an exhaustive review 14 studying the influences of implantation temperature and ion mass, energy, flux, and fluence. Thus, while the amorphization kinetics of the two binary end members, InP and GaP, has been studied extensively 13,[15][16][17][18][20][21][22][23][24] such is not the case for the In x Ga 1Àx P ternary alloys. This report thus addresses this shortfall for a material system of scientific importance and technological relevance.…”

Rutherford Backscattering Spectrometry/Channeling and Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure measurements have been combined to investigate the amorphization of In x Ga 1Àx P alloys at 15 and 300 K for selected stoichiometries representative of the entire stoichiometric range. The amorphization kinetics differs considerably for the two temperatures: at 15 K, the amorphization kinetics of In x Ga 1Àx P is intermediate between the two binary extremes while at 300 K, In x Ga 1Àx P is more easily amorphized than both InP and GaP. Direct impact and stimulated amorphization both contribute to the amorphization process at 15 K. Dynamic annealing via thermally induced Frenkel pair recombination reduces the influence of direct impact amorphization at 300 K such that the stimulated amorphization is dominant. At this temperature, stimulated amorphization in ternary In x Ga 1Àx P alloys is supported by the structural disorder inherent from the bimodal bond length distribution.
