It has long been known that defects such as stacking faults and voids can be quenched from various alloyed metals heated to near their melting point. Today it is common practice to irradiate samples with various ionic species of rare gases which also form voids containing solidified phases of the same atomic species, e.g. ref. 3. Equivalently, electron irradiation has been used to produce damage events, e.g. ref. 4. Generally all of the above mentioned studies have relied on diffraction contrast to observe the defects produced down to a dimension of perhaps 10 to 20Å. Also all these studies have used ions or electrons which exceeded the damage threshold for knockon events. In the case of higher resolution studies the present author has identified vacancy and interstitial type chain defects in ion irradiated Si and was able to identify both di-interstitial and di-vacancy chains running through the foil.

Diamond thin films grown from a dc-arc discharge in CH4/H2 mixtures on Si wafers were examined by transmission electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy. This deposition method provides good diamond crystallinity at high CH4 concentrations (3%–9%). Seeding the substrate with 5 nm diamond particles at a density of 2 × 1012 cm−1 followed by argon laser irradiation to reduce their agglomeration gives, just after starting deposition, a density of growth centers of 1010cm−2. At 3% CH4 concentration the film grows with almost perfect crystallites. Richer CH4 mixtures (5% and 9%) produce crystallites with twins and stacking faults. An amorphous 20–70 nm SiC interlayer is present at these CH4 concentrations, which was not observed at 3% CH4. Amorphous sp3- and sp2-bonded carbon was detected by Raman spectroscopy at all CH4 concentrations and correlated with TEM data.

ABSTRACTIn situ Raman scattering, UPS and HREELS measurements have been used to study the fcc to orthorhombic phase transition in RbC60 thin films. Large changes in the Raman spectra are interpreted in terms of increased interfullerene coupling in the orthorhombic phase. However, the data do not support the proposed polymer model for this phase. Photoemission measurements indicate only small differences in the electronic states between the two phases in contrast with photopolymerized C60 where additional states are observed. Low energy metallic-like excitations and screening of intramolecular vibrations are observed in HREELS.
