...atoms not to diffuse back to their original positions...
This technique is known as ion implantation, and only forms amorphous solids if the material is too cold for atoms to diffuse back to their original positions as the process continues.
I believe the above sentence is correct. I'm having difficulty in understand its meaning. Would that be wrong if I put not between atoms and to diffuse?

Hi, This technique is known as ion implantation, and only forms amorphous solids if the material is too cold for atoms to diffuse back to their original positions as the process continues. Would that be wrong if I put not between atoms and to diffuse ? If you put 'not', you are changing to the opposite meaning.
