Abstract
In latter years, many studies of ion beam-induced nanocluster (NC) formation in insulators have focussed on the effects of the ion beam interaction itself: defect formation, ion beam mixing, radiation-enhanced diffusion, etc. In a recent series of papers, we have taken an alternative approach that emphasizes the consequences of the beam's energy deposition as regards charge formation (electron, holes; defects as charge reservoirs; host and impurity atom ionization…) in matter. This leads to a parallel between photon and charged particle irradiations, and involves studies of the physicochemical, as well as the ‘purely physical’ effects of energy deposition.
