Popis: A mechanical model is proposed for the amorphization of solids. The model is based on a concept according to which the accumulation of radiation-induced defects gives rise to forces and force moments that act on local volumes of the material and are responsible for fragmentation. The estimates obtained demonstrate that the proposed model can adequately describe the amorphization of solids only with allowance made for strain waves generated during reactions between defects. This model is consistent with the paracrystalline structure of silicon layers transformed into the amorphous state under ion bombardment.
