It follows from the results that the effect of implanted heavy ions on the defect structure is complicated. A sputtering or/and evaporation of LiF from the irradiated zone is discovered; there are strong damages including radiolysis effects inside this zone. Changes beyond the implantation zone are revealed, where the traces of the spreading shock wave and secondary ionizing radiation are evident. [Russian Text Ignored].Read More
