Gf. Cerofolini et al., GIANT RADIATION-DAMAGE PRODUCED BY THE IMPACT OF HEAVY MOLECULAR-IONSONTO SILICON SINGLE-CRYSTAL, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section B, Beam interactions with materials and atoms, 80-1, 1993, pp. 132-136
The giant radiation damage imparted to single-crystalline silicon by t
he impact of Re2(CO)2+ at 140 keV is studied by conventional and high-
resolution transmission electron microscopy. Evidence for damage produ
ced by the correlated motion of the atoms initially forming the molecu
lar ion is presented.
