Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
Models and mechanisms of intrinsic radiation defect formation in the metals and alkali-halide crystals are considered. The effect of irradiation conditions (temperature, absorbed dose, etc.) on the formation of the primary and secondary defects, fomation of the aggregate radiation defects (voids), and affection of heat treatment on the properties of irradiated metals are discussed herein. It is noted that low radiation resistance of alkali halide crystals is connected to the under-threshold mechanism of defect formation.
Keywords:
Radiation, metal, alkali halide, color centers, radiation defects, mechanism of radiation defect formation.
