Ultrafast X-ray pulses disorder zinc blende and wurtzite CdS at about 0.4-0.5 eV/atom, mainly by thermal heating, and cooling can produce semiconducting or metallic liquids and an amorphous phase with tunable band gap.
The atomic snapshots in Figure 6 show that the material disorders at doses above this threshold

Ultrafast X-ray induced damage and nonthermal melting in cadmium sulfide
Ultrafast X-ray pulses disorder zinc blende and wurtzite CdS at about 0.4-0.5 eV/atom, mainly by thermal heating, and cooling can produce semiconducting or metallic liquids and an amorphous phase with tunable band gap.
