Extract

Radiation damage, and its attendant effect on a wide spectrum of materials properties, is a central issue in many advanced technologies ranging from ion-beam processing to the development of fusion power. Indeed, the various challenges presented by irradiation effects are too numerous to discuss in this brief article.
