Accumulation of radiation defects in materials

Generation/accumulation of radiation defects in irradiated materials must be taken into account in many areas of nuclear R&D. Defects are also among the key issues faced in many applications of nuclear technologies (e.g. implantation doping of semiconductors). Topics to-be-presented during the seminar include: (i) fundamentals of interaction of charged particles with various materials; (ii) description of the degree to which material is defected and the displacement per atom (d.p.a.) unit; (iii) transformations of defects in the defected materials. The main emphasis will be put on phenomena occurring at energies below the Coulomb barrier and processes running when materials are defected by means of some elastic interactions.
