Abstract

Using a double-paddle oscillator, we have studied the internal friction of thin Si layers which have been disordered by ion implantation. We have identified the temperature-independent internal friction common to all amorphous solids below 10K, and also a narrow relaxation peak at ∼ 48K. This peak has been shown to be caused by divacancies in the damaged crystalline region underneath the amorphous layer. Thermal, rapid thermal, and laser-flash annealing have been compared. The minimum disorder is left after rapid thermal annealing.
