Despite more than a century of interest in the effects of energetic particles in matter, quantitative predictions of the radiation damage remain elusive in many cases. The goal of this project is to transform the study of radiation-induced damage in semiconductors from an empirical approach to one of fundamental physics, to obtain reliable predictions of radiation damage crucial for practical applications. Particle irradiation effects are of great importance, since they can modify the physical and mechanical properties of materials, the outcome of which is often detrimental to the materials employed in high radiation environments. Conversely, ion irradiation also has the potential to…
