Enhanced diffusion mechanisms

Abstract

Abstract The phenomenology is reviewed for several enhanced diffusion mechanisms: the normal ionization-enhanced diffusion mechanism, the Bourgoin mechanism, the energy-release mechanism and some recoil mechanisms. Application of these mechanisms are discussed for crystalline and amorphous semiconductors, super-ionic materials and insulators in radiation damage, impurity and self-diffusion, ion-implantation, and dislocation-motion-experiments.
