Radiation Damage Effects in Solids

Volume Is Indexed By Thomson Reuters Bci (wos). Public Interest And Concern About Radiation Damage Effects Has Increased During Recent Times. Nuclear Radiation Proved To Be A Precursor For The Study Of Radiation Damage Effects In Solids. In General, All Types Of Radiation, E.g. X-ray, Gamma Ray, Heavy Ions, Fission Fragments And Neutrons Produce Damage Effects In Materials. Radiation Damage Latent Tracks In Solids Find Applications In Nuclear And Elementary Particle Physics, Chemistry, Radiobiology, Earth Sciences, Nuclear Engineering, And A Host Of Other Areas Such As Nuclear Safeguards, Virus Counting, Ion Track Filters, Uranium Exploration And Archaeology. Radiation Dosimetry And Reactor Shielding Also Involve Concepts Based On Radiation Damage In Solids. This Special Volume Consists Of Ten Chapters, Including Review And Research Papers On Various Topics In This Field.
