Abstract
Ion-induced amorphization processes are discussed and classified by di stinguishing spike and nonspike regimes. Recent examples are given to illustrate how these two regimes can experimentally be separated. Afte r delineating the idea of obtaining the amorphous phase by approaching an instability of the crystalline structure, consequences are discuss ed on possible ion beam experiments. Selected results based on ion irr adiation of crystalline compounds, ion beam mixing and ion implantatio n are used to describe the recent development.
