Abstract

The implantation formation of InAs nanoclusters in silicon and silica and their modification via irradiation with Xe ions with an energy of 167 MeV and a fluence of 3 × 10¹⁴ cm^–2 are studied. It is found that post-implantation annealing and irradiation with high-energy ions alter the size and shape of nanoclusters and cause structural transformations within them. The ordering of nanoclusters and their elongation along the trajectory of Xe ions in a SiO₂ matrix is observed.
