Aug. 30 - Sept. 4, 2009 - Padova (Italy) 

   

Topics

REI-15 sessions will review recent developments in the following topical areas related to radiation effects in insulators:

Beam - Insulator interaction:

  • irradiation induced modifications by ions, photons, neutrons, electrons.
  • defect production and stability
  • fundamentals and modeling

Irradiated Materials:

  • oxides: ceramics and glasses
  • carbides and nitrides
  • polymers
  • ionic crystals
  • nanostructures in insulators

Applications:

  • nuclear materials: fission and fusion
  • functional nanocomposites
  • photonic, bio-medicine and sensing materials
  • micro- and nano-patterning
  • materials processing with swift heavy ions and cluster beams
