Abstract
The macroscopic atomic transport induced in amorphous systems by ion e lectronic energy loss is studied by means of RBS experiments on a mark er either implanted (Bi) or evaporated (Au) in the target. Irradiation of amorphous Ni3B with 500 MeV I ions leads to (i) a huge shift of th e marker profile towards the sample surface, (ii) a surprising decreas e of its distribution width. The results are totally accounted for by the plastic deformation phenomenon induced by electronic excitation in amorphous materials.
