Mn thin film deposited GaAs samples were implanted with 250 keV Ar{sup +2} ions for various fluences 5x10{sup 15}, 1x10{sup 16} and 5x10{sup 16} ions cm{sup -2}. Optical and structural properties of the samples have been investigated by using ultraviolet spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction techniques. Optical absorbance of the implanted samples was found to decrease with increase in argon ion fluence. XRD spectra of the samples implanted for ion fluences 5x10{sup 15} and 1x10{sup 16} showed the formation of (GaMn)As at 2{theta} value of 65.34 deg. The XRD spectrum of sample 1x10{sup 16} cm{sup -2} annealed at 450 deg. C showed the formation of magnetic phases.
