Abstract
Structure of implanted Br ions has been studied in 2.4MeV 6x1016 Br ions cm-2-implanted silica glass by X-ray absorption spectroscopy. It was found that most of implanted Br atoms form Br-Si bonds in as-implanted glass. Br atoms were substituted for oxygen atoms in SiO4 tetrehedra to form SiO3Br tetrahedra. About 60% of Br atoms formed Br2 molecules in the glass after heating at 600℃.
