Abstract
We report on experiments in which picosecond ultrasonic techniques are used to investigate the modification of interfacial bonding that resu lts from ion implantation. The bonding is studied through measurements of the acoustic reflection coefficient at the interface. This method is nondestructive and can be used to create a map of the variation of the bonding over the area of the interface. (C) 1998 American Institut e of Physics.
