The paper addresses the study of monocrystalline c-Ge wafers implanted by Ag+ ions at current density J=5 µA/cm2 , dose D=2.5·1016 ion/cm2 , energy 30 keV and subjected to rapid thermal processing annealing with single light pulses of various duration from 1 to 9.5 s. It was found that annealing with an increasing pulse duration to 5 s consequently leaded to growing diameters of Ge nanowires from 26 to 35 nm, which constitute an amorphous sponge-like structure of Ag:PGe with nanowires formed by ion implantation. It was assumed that increase in the nanowire diameters occurred by the mechanism of Ostwald ripening in the samples heated during the annealing. Annealing with the pulses exceeding 5 s caused the porous structure destruction and Ag evaporation in the samples. Partial recrystallization of the implanted Ag:PGe layers annealed by incoherent light pulses with duration of more than 1 s was observed.

Active accounts were imported to the new platform and assigned a random password by default. In order to access your account you need to access the login page and go through the Lost Password dialog (involves the system sending you an email with instructions) in order to reset your password. This step is necessary as passwords are kept in hashed form and the new platform uses modern hashing algorithms incompatible with the previous ones.
