In this work, we investigate the local atomic structure of Si implanted with 3.0 MeV Ni^+ ions. Analysis of Ni K -edge fluorescent-yield extended X-ray absorption fine structure reveals that Ni atoms have mixed structure of metallic-like face-centered cubic Ni and NiSi_2 phases at the initial stage of the irradiation and the formation of NiSi_2 promotes significantly with the ion fluence above 10^15 ions・cm^-2 . With consideration of the agreement between the ion fluence threshold for the structural transition and the critical Si-amorphization fluence (7.1 × 10^14 ions・cm^-2 ), it is concluded that the amorphization of Si plays an important role in the synthesis of the NiSi_2 phase in Ni~+ -irradiated Si.}, title = {Structural analysis of high-energy implanted Ni atoms into Si(100) by X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy}, year = {2022} }
