Impact of Radiation Damage on Mechanical and Electrical Properties of MEM/NEM Structures

Abstract

This 3-year research project applied experimental measurements and theoretical calculations to quantify mechanisms and manifestations of radiation effects on constituent MEM/NEM (M and NEM) materials and structures, including radiation-induced defects and resulting modification of mechanical properties of thin-film and 2D materials and devices. 2D materials are of particular interest due to the unique properties afforded by low atomic dimension in (at least) one direction. The same low-dimensional property also introduces questions as to mechanisms and models for interaction with radiation and how defects impact the mechanical properties.
