Abstract

The amorphous state can be produced in α-Al2O3 by ion beam induced displacements at 77 K or by displacements combined with chemical effects at room temperature. Progress toward understanding the amorphization process has been made from studies of the short-range order, electronic charge on implanted species, and the critical composition for amorphization. Results are presented for implantation of Al + O in the stoichiometric ratio, zirconium, iron, and tin.
