ABSTRACTIon-beam/channeling data for the lattice location of Ti, Hf, Er and Nd in LiNbO3 and LiNbO3: Mg are presented. These impurities are relevant in relation to waveguide and integrated optics devices. It is shown that co-doping with Mg markedly influences the lattice location observed in LiNbO3. The amorphization and recrystalization process following Hf implantation and annealing are also discussed.

Cross-sectional TEM studies of ion implantation induced amorphization in a large number of semiconductors have been performed. Samples of Si, AlAs, GaAs, GaP, GaSb, InP, InAs, and ZnSe were simultaneously implanted at 77 K with 20 keV Si+ at doses between 1 × 1014/cm2 and 1 × 1016/cm2. A dose of 1 × 1015/cm2 minimized the ion beam induced epitaxial crystallization and sputtering effects. The depth of the amorphous layer at this dose was compared with Monte Carlo damage density distribution calculations (TRIM'90). The threshold damage density (TDD) necessary for amorphization was determined for each compound. The values of the threshold damage density vary from as low as 2.4 × 1019 keV/cm3 for InAs up to 7.3 × 1020 keV/cm3 for AlAs. ZnSe never became amorphous and GaSb exhibited an unusual disordering after the highest dose. The values of the threshold damage density for the various compositions were compared with known thermochemical data and several bond energy estimates. No single calculation explained all of the trends observed.

To satisfy the harsh service demand of stainless steel and aviation bearing steel, the anticorrosion and wettability behaviors of 9Cr18 stainless steel and M50 bearing steel tailored by ion beam surface modification technology were experimentally investigated. By controlling the ion implantation (F+, N+, N+ + Ti+) or deposition processes, different surface-modified layers and ceramic layers or composite layers with both effects (ion implantation and deposition processes) were obtained on metal surfaces. The wettability was characterized by a contact angle instrument, and the thermodynamics stabilization of ion implantation-treated metals in corrosive solution was evaluated through an electrochemical technique. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was employed for detecting the chemical bonding states of the implanted elements. The results indicated that ion implantation or deposition-induced surface-modified layers or coating layers could increase water contact angles, namely improving hydrophobicity as well as thermodynamic stabilization in corrosive medium. Meanwhile, wettability with lubricant oil was almost not changed. The implanted elements could induce the formation of new phases in the near-surface region of metals, and the wettability behaviors were closely related to the as-formed ceramic components and amorphous sublayer.

In this paper, the applicability of Ion Beam Processing Technology for making catalysts has been inves-tigated. Ceramic substrates of different shapes and metal fibre tablets were implanted by platinum ions and tested in nitrogen oxides (NOx) and carbon monoxide (CO) conversion reactions. Effectiveness of the implanted catalysts was compared to that of the commercially produced platinum catalysts made by impregnation. Platinum-implanted catalyst having fifteen times less platinum content showed the same CO conversion efficiency as the commercially pro-duced catalyst. It was revealed that the effectiveness of the platinum-implanted catalyst has complex dependence on the process parameters and the optimum can be achieved by varying the ions energy and the duration of implantation. Investigation of the pore structure showed that ion implantation did not decrease the specific surface area of the catalyst.Key Words: Catalyst, Ion Implantation, Noble metals.
