Abstract
The shear viscosity eta of amorphous InP has been determined during st ructural relaxation at room temperature. Following amorphization by io n implantation, the in-plane and out-of-plane deformation have been me asured by surface profilometry. The structural relaxation consists of a volume expansion which is partly accommodated by shear plastic flow. It was deduced from the in-plane and out-of-plane deformation, that e ta increases linearly with time with an initial eta(0) value of (9 +/- 4) X 10(15) Ns/m(2) and a slope eta = (4.8 +/- 0.4) X 10(10) N/m(2).
