Structural changes in silicon single crystals irradiated with high-energy electrons (Е = 18 MeV) were studied. The peculiarities of diffraction reflection curve behaviour and changes in the profiles of isodiffusion lines in high-resolution reciprocal space maps (HR-RSMs) were found as a function of the radiation dose. The generalized dynamic theory of X-ray Bragg-diffraction in crystals comprising defects of several types (spherical and disc-shaped clusters as well as dislocation loops) and a damaged nearsurface layer was used for explanation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
