“…Refs. 19,20), a sharp jump in (∆d/d) appears (independently of the implanted ion and the matrix types) at the end of ion trajectories (at a depth, R p ), where ion velocities are close to zero and they cause maximum damage. It is reasonable to assume that the change of lattice parameter in the sublayer, confined at a depth R p , is proportional to the interstitials concentration, C. Thus, the measurement of the angular separation, ∆Θ, between interstitials-induced and bulk peaks, according to Eq.…”
