N+BF<Subscript>2</Subscript> and N+C+BF<Subscript>2</Subscript> high-dose co-implantation in silicon
L. Barbadillo M. Cervera M.J. Hernández P. Rodríguez J. Piqueras S.I. Molina A. Ponce F.M. Morales 《Applied Physics A: Materials Science & Processing》2003,76(5):791-800
Nitrogen and boron BF2, and nitrogen, carbon, and boron BF2 high-dose (6×1016–3×1017 cm-2) co-implantation were performed at energies of about 21–77 keV. Subsequent high-temperature annealing processes (600, 850,
and 1200 °C) lead to the formation of three and two surface layers respectively. The outer layer mainly consists of polycrystalline
silicon and some amorphous material and Si3N4 inclusions. The inner layer is highly defective crystalline silicon, with some inclusions of Si3N4 too. In the N+B-implanted sample the intermediate layer is amorphous. Co-implantation of boron with nitrogen and with nitrogen
and carbon prevents the excessive diffusivity of B and leads to a lattice-parameter reduction of 0.7–1.0%.

Depending on the implantation temperature, the implantation of carbon ions into silicon at high doses results in the formation
of either amorphous SiCx or crystalline 3C-SiC precipitates. Various aspects of the precipitation behaviour observed, such as the impeded nucleation,
the limited growth and the resulting sensitivity to ballistic destruction are attributed to the large interfacial energy between
crystalline silicon and 3C-SiC. Periodically arranged amorphous SiCx nanoclusters, which are formed at lower temperatures, are shown to promote amorphisation by their surrounding stress field
and to represent sinks for silicon self-interstitials, which can be activated by annealing at 900 °C. By control of the depth
distribution of equally sized, oriented 3C-SiC precipitates formed at higher implantation temperatures, it is possible to
establish suitable starting conditions for the formation of buried homogeneous, single-crystalline 3C-SiC layers during a
post-implantation anneal. The properties of these ion-beam-synthesised SiC layers are described and attempts to combine them
with insulating and metallic layers are reviewed. A survey is given of the emerging applications of ion-beam-synthesised buried
SiC layers and microstructures in electronic, optical and micromechanical devices and as large-area SiC pseudosubstrates.

[Fe/B]n ≥2 multilayers were prepared by thermal evaporation, ion-beam sputtering and laser ablation. By applying in situ electron spectroscopies
(UPS, XPS) and monitoring the electrical resistance during layer growth, evidence could be provided for the occurrence of
interface reactions within the range of studied deposition temperatures (77 K ≤T ≤300 K). These reactions result in amorphous
FexB100-x phases, which are spatially restricted to a width of less than 3 nm at the original interface. The amorphicity of the reacted
interlayers was unequivocally proven by additional high-resolution electron microscopy (HRTEM) and their characteristically
changed magnetic properties. Due to the well-defined width of the interface reaction, homogeneous amorphous FexB100-x films can be obtained by reducing the individual Fe and B layer thicknesses to below the above reaction depth, while for
larger thicknesses layer sequences of the crystalline/amorphous/crystalline type will result.

Ni nanoparticles embedded in an amorphous SiO2 matrix were produced by a modified sol–gel method. This method resulted in nanocomposites with a controlled size distribution
and good dispersion of the metallic particles. The particle-size distributions were found to have an average radius of ∼3 nm,
as inferred from transmission electron microscopy, X-ray-diffraction analysis, and magnetic measurements. Magnetic characterizations
revealed that samples exhibit superparamagnetic behavior above the blocking temperature TB, 20 K≤TB≤40 K, and absence of a shift along the field axis on hysteresis loops measured at T≤TB, indicating that the metallic nanoparticles are also free from an oxide layer.

A study of the propagation of elliptically polarized light and the resulting formation of macroscopic chiral structures in
a series of azobenzene side-chain copolyesters, in which the morphology is varied from liquid crystalline to amorphous, is
reported. Real-time measurements are presented, showing the dynamic behavior of the photoinduced rotation of the polarization
ellipse in the different samples. The relationship between the ellipticity of the recording light and the linear birefringence
induced is studied. A numerical solution that takes into account the influence of the photoinduced linear dichroism on the
light propagation through the samples is presented.

The I–V characteristics of bulk As40Te60-xSex and As35Te65-xSex glasses have been studied with a current sweep of 0–18 mA-0, over a wide range of compositions (4≤x≤22). All the glasses
studied showed a threshold electrical switching behaviour. The number of switching cycles withstood by the samples has been
found to depend on the ON-state current. It is seen that the switching voltages increase with increase in selenium content.
Further, the switching voltages are found to be almost independent of the thickness of the sample (d), in the range 0.18–0.3 mm.
Also, the switching voltages and the number of switching cycles withstood by the samples are found to decrease with temperature.

Large-area, 1-μm-thick cubic boron nitride (cBN) films were deposited on (001) silicon substrates by electron-cyclotron-resonance-enhanced
microwave-plasma chemical vapor deposition (ECR-MP CVD) in a mixture of He-Ar-N2-BF3-H2 gases. With the assistance of fluorine chemistry in the gas phase and substrate reactions, the phase purity of the sp3-configuration was improved to over 85% at a reduced substrate bias voltage of -40 V. The grown films show clear Raman transversal
optical (TO) and longitudinal optical (LO) phonon vibration modes, characteristic of cBN. Such Raman spectral characteristics
are the first ever observed in cBN films prepared under ECR-MP CVD conditions.

Opposite to most other deposition methods, the dominating nucleation and growth mechanism during ion-beam deposition of energetic
ions in the range between 10 eV and 10 keV occurs in a region of a few nanometers below the surface of the growing film. This
process is called ‘subplantation’ – emphasizing the implantation of ions into a subsurface region. Ordering and phase formation
is a result of the interaction of the deposited ions with the solid state that takes place within the short time scale of
femto- and picoseconds. This extreme non-equilibrium process can result in metastable amorphous or crystalline structures.
This review will present several examples of the influence of the deposition parameters on the properties of diamond-like
materials synthesized using mass-selected ion-beam deposition. Furthermore, several existing models of the deposition process
will be presented and critically discussed.

A new form of GaN nanomaterial (nanotweezers) has been obtained by chemical vapor deposition on an etched cubic MgO (100)
plane. The nanotweezers consist of a bottom rod and two arms. The bottom rods have diameters of about 100–150 nm and lengths
of about 200–500 nm, on which two arms grow out. The bottoms of the arms are about 40–70 nm and the tops are about 15–30 nm
in diameter, and 0.8–1.5 μm in length. X-ray and electron diffractions indicate the nanotweezers are zinc blende gallium nitride.
We infer that the fabrication of the GaN nanotweezers is associated with small convex hillocks on the surface of the etched
cubic MgO (100) single-crystal substrates and that the nanotweezers grow by a growth mechanism that is similar to vapor-phase
heteroepitaxy.

Large quantities of high-purity crystalline β-SiC nanowires have been synthesized at relatively low temperature via a new
simple method, the chemical-vapor-reaction approach, in a home-made graphite reaction cell. A mixture of milled Si and SiC
powders and C3H6 were employed as the starting materials. The results show that the nanowires with diameters of about 10–35 nm are single
crystalline β-SiCwithout any wrapping of amorphous material, and the nanowire axes lie along the 〈111〉 direction. Some unique
properties are found in the Raman scattering from the β-SiC nanowires, which are different from previous observations of β-SiC
materials. A possible growth mechanism for the β-SiC nanowires is proposed.

We report an investigation of the ablation of NaCl crystals at the 157-nm wavelength of the F2 laser where there is very strong excitonic absorption. Probe-beam deflection and etch-rate measurements show that the interaction
is characterised by a low ablation threshold (∼80 mJ cm-2) and a capability for controllable material removal at the nanometer level. Scanning electron microscopy of the exposed surfaces
show this to be microscopically smooth but with fine cracks present. It is demonstrated that micron-scale features can be
formed in NaCl using 157-nm laser ablation, a result attributed to the strongly localised optical and thermal nature of the
interaction. The results are discussed within the framework of a thermal vaporisation model.

Thin chalcogenide films from the systems (GeSe4)1-xGax and (GeSe5)1-xGax with gallium contents up to 20 at. % have been prepared by vacuum evaporation and their stress has been investigated by a
cantilever technique. The addition of gallium to the Ge-Se matrix plays an important role in stress formation in the films:
films without gallium possess negligible stress, while all gallium-containing films are under compressive stress. The increase
of the gallium content leads to structural changes and an increase in the density, which results in higher stress values.
For all films, stress reduction with time is observed due to spontaneous relaxation.

The microstructures of nanophase Pr-Co-C-(Ti) materials, which have improved magnetic properties, were investigated by means
of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to reveal their phase assemblage and grain-boundary structure. The phase assemblage
was carefully controlled by the introduction of TiC nanoparticles and annealing. The optimal nanostructure contained uniformly
distributed PrCo5 and PrCo2 nanophases without any magnetically soft phases, resulting in high coercivity and the characteristics of a single, hard magnetic
phase. TEM analysis confirmed the presence of an amorphous grain-boundary phase surrounding the grains in alloys without TiC.
In contrast, alloys with added TiC showed no amorphous phase and also showed higher coercivity compared to Co-Pr-C. Therefore,
the variation of the grain boundary phases may be effective in changing the degree of exchange coupling. Controlling the formation
of a uniform nanoscale microstructure, leading to improved magnetic properties, is discussed.

A short review of our investigations devoted to the use of ion-beam-synthesized nanoclusters for silicon-based light emission
and nonvolatile memory effects is presented. Blue-violet light emission is demonstrated based on Ge-implanted silicon dioxide
layers thermally grown on silicon substrates. This version of silicon-based light emission relies on Ge-related defects in
the amorphous ≡Si–O–Si≡ network. The photoluminescence and electroluminescence are excited by a singlet S0–S1 transition of a neutral oxygen vacancy and by electron injection from the silicon substrate into the silicon dioxide layer,
respectively. Whereas the photoluminescence excitation is a well-known mechanism, for the case of electroluminescence an interpretation
was performed for the first time in the course of our studies. It was found that the most probable way to excite luminescence
centers is the impact excitation by hot electrons. Whereas the injection is explained by trap-assisted tunneling of electrons
from the substrate into the oxide, the electrons will be transported via traps or in the SiO2 conduction band. The application of the silicon-based light-emitting devices for an integrated optocoupler arrangement is
described. Another application of nanoclusters is based on the investigation of thin Si-implanted silicon dioxide layers for
nonvolatile memory devices. First promising results demonstrate that the observed programming window can reach several volts
and the devices exhibit excellent retention behavior. A 256 K-nv-SRAM is demonstrated showing a programming window of >1 V
for write pulses of 12 V/8 ms.

The electronic energy loss of swift heavy ions (MeV/amu) within a solid results in a highly excited cylindrical zone of some
nm in diameter, within which all atoms may be in motion for some tens of ps (transient local melting). After cooling down,
a defect-rich or even amorphous latent track is left in many cases, especially in insulating materials. The resulting property
alterations (density, micro-structure, morphology, phase composition, etc.) have been investigated for many bulk materials,
while only very few experiments have been carried out with thin-film systems. In the present paper, a summary will be given
of our studies on the transport of matter in thin-film packages induced by irradiation with high-energy ions. These is, on
the one hand, atomic mixing at the interfaces, which is especially pronounced in ceramic systems and which seems to occur
by interdiffusion in the molten ion track. On the other hand, we have discovered a self-organisation phenomenon in swift-heavy-ion-irradiated
NiO layers, which at low fluences first showed periodic cracking perpendicular to the projected beam direction. After application
of high fluences, the NiO layer was reorganised in 100-nm-thick and 1-μm-high NiO lamellae of the same separation distance
(1–3 μm) and orientation as found for the cracks. Both effects can be attributed to transient melting of the material surrounding
the ion trajectory.

Novel micrometer-sized Si-Sn-O structures with SiO2 nanowires (SiONWs) growing from their surfaces have been achieved at about 980 °C on Si (111) wafer catalyzed by Sn vapor
generated from Sn powders. The Si wafer itself served as a silicon source in the reaction. The micrometer-sized structures,
with diameters of several micrometers to several tens of micrometers consisted of Sn, Si and O. The amorphous SiONWs growing
from the surface of the micrometer-sized structures were smooth, with diameters about 120 nm and with a composition close
to that of SiO2. The growth mechanism of these novel structures is discussed briefly.

Twin-beam fluctuations are analyzed for detuned and mismatched OPO configurations. Resonances and frequency responses to the

and damping parameters is discussed.

NiTi films deposited by pulsed laser ablation on Si/SiO2 are shown to exhibit structural and functional properties related to the shape-memory effect. Film characterization suggests
that relevant temperatures for the solid-to-solid transformation responsible for the shape memory are in substantial agreement
with those of the bulk target material, demonstrating a good congruency of the deposition process. Besides the technological
interest for this class of thin films, our findings point out the suitability of laser ablation for metal alloy deposition.
An investigation based on in situ ion-mass spectroscopy and covariance mapping analysis allows us to determine the main vapor-phase
processes leading to the formation of stoichiometric clusters expected to play a relevant role in assisting the growth of
NiTi thin films.

We report on a passively Q-switched diode-pumped Nd:YVO4 laser polarized along the a axis (corresponding to the smallest value of emission cross section at 1064 nm), generating 157-μJ
pulses with 6.0-ns time duration (>20 kW peak power) and 3.6 W of average power at 1064 nm with good beam quality (M2<1.4). The selection of the polarization was performed by a novel technique relying on the birefringence of the laser crystal
and on the misalignment sensitivity of the resonator.
