Abstract

A method for amorphizing a material comprises attaching a thin film consisting of exotic atoms to a parent material, irradiating the two layer material under given conditions of irradiation from the side of the thin film with electron beams, and injecting forcibly the exotic atoms into the parent material to change the material into an amorphous material. This method can produce amorphous materials having new functions.
