THE ROLE OF ELECTRON MICROSCOPY IN OBSERVATIONS OF RADIATION DAMAGE

Abstract

Radiation-damage theories predict that a variety of defects will be produced in a solid during nuclear bombardment. The special extent of some of these defects is within the resolving power of the modern electron microscope. This paper summarizes the theories and their relationship to electron-microscopic observations of radiation-induced defects. (Author)
