Abstract The implantation behaviour of stable119Sn+ ions and radioactive119In+,119mSn+,119Sb+ and119mTe+ ions in SiC has been investigated by, respectively, conversion-electron Mössbauer spectroscopy on the 24 keV transition of119Sn, and by Mössbauer emission spectroscopy on the 24 keVγ radiation emitted by the119Sn daughter after the decays of the radioactive isotopes. The Mössbauer spectra could be decomposed in most cases into two groups of lines, one originating from119Sn atoms on substitutional Si sites, the other from various Sn-vacancy complexes distinguished by their Mössbauer parameters. Annealing experiments reveal a strong dependence of the structure of the defects and the formation and annealing kinetics on the chemical nature of the impurities. Defects formed in 297 K implantations with119mSn and119Sb anneal above 500
