Large numbers of theory and observation studies have been conducted on electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves occurring in Earth’s magnetosphere. Numerous studies have shown that accurately specifying the ions of ionospheric origin and their composition can greatly improve understanding of magnetospheric EMIC waves, specifically their generation, their properties, and their effects on the magnetospheric plasma populations. With the launch and operations of multiple recent missions carrying plasma instrumentation capable of acquiring direct measurements of multiple ion species, we use this opportunity to review recent magnetospheric EMIC wave efforts utilizing these new assets, with particular focus on the role of ions of ionospheric origin in wave generation, propagation, and interaction with particles. The review of progress leads us to a discussion of the unresolved questions to be investigated using future modeling capabilities or when new missions or instrumentation capabilities are developed.

AbstractThe transition from ion induced epitaxial crystallization to planar amorphization of a preexisting amorphous layer in silicon has been investigated. The conditions for dynamic equilibrium at the transition were determined for different ion species as a function of dose rate and temperature. The critical dose rate for equilibrium varies exponentially with 1/T, exhibiting an activation energy of ∼1.2 eV. Furthermore, for different ions, the critical dose rate is inversely proportional to the square of the linear displacement density created by individual ions. This second order defect production process and the activation energy, which is characteristic of divacancy dissociation, suggest that the accumulation of divacancies at the amorphous/crystalline interface controls the balance between crystallization and amorphization.
