“…Making use of this merit, studies on conditions in which non-equilibrium solid phases, such as amorphous phases, chemical disordered phases and so on, can be successfully produced under MeV electron irradiation will be carried out by UHVEM. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] As typical examples of the previous studies, electron-irradiationinduced amorphization in intermetallic compounds which consist of transition metals, borides, carbides or oxides has been examined and the relation between the tendency toward the amorphization and the position of those compounds in the temperature-composition phase diagram has been discussed. 10,11) In the present work, electron irradiation effects in III-V compounds, such as GaSb, GaAs and InAs, have been studied by UHVEM, in order to see the relation between the electronirradiation-induced structural change and the bonding character.…”
