``Physics of Radiation Effects in Crystals'' is presented in two parts. The first part covers the general background and theory of radiation effects in crystals

The development of advanced materials with preselected properties is one of the main goals of materials research. Of especial interest are electronics, high-tem

The study of radiation damage in solids generally has been stimulated by the technological demands of nuclear energy and space research. Professor Thompson's 19

The book is devoted to processes at the interaction of high energy charged particles and photons with crystals. Among them are the creation of electron-positron

The effects of electromagnetic radiation and high-energy par ticles on semiconductors can be divided into two main processes: (a) the excitation of electrons (t
