Abstract

The High-Voltage Electron Microscope (HVEM)-Accelerator Facility at Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) has been used to gain insight into the process of collapse of displacement cascades to vacancy loops in metals (Ni, Cu, Fe, Ni-Si, and Ni-Al) and the crystalline-amorphous transition produced in GaAs by ion implantation.
