Abstract
The paper presents a general review oft he effects induced by high
fluence ion implantation in silicate and fluorfde glasses. Charged
particle irradiation introduces network damage and alters the
chemical composition. Compositional changes are related to
radiation enhanced diffusion processes, preferential sputtering
and internal electric field formation. These effects determine
modifications in the mechanical, optical and chemical properties
of the glasses.
