The displacement damage cross-section of the neutron -GaN interaction is calculated in the energy range from meV to GeV. Different calculation methods are used and discussed to estimate the modeling uncertainty. The Non-ionizing energy loss (NIEL) and the relative damage factors are also deduced. Differences with the neutron -Silicon interactions are presented and the impacts on the estimation of Total Non-Ionizing Dose (TNID) levels are evaluated as a function of neutron energy.
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.
