We review the current stage of research of track formation processes and mechanisms in
materials irradiated by swift ions. We show that the nature and morphology of tracks depend …

Minerals are solid state nuclear track detectors—nuclear recoils in a mineral leave latent
damage to the crystal structure. Depending on the mineral and its temperature, the damage …

The potential habitability of Europa's subsurface ocean depends on its chemical
composition, which may be reflected in that of Europa's geologically young surface …

Since a few breakthroughs in the fundamental understanding of the effects of swift heavy
ions (SHIs) decelerating in the electronic stopping regime in the matter have been achieved …

Accumulation of F-type defects under irradiation of MgO crystals by 0.23-GeV 132 Xe ions
with fluence varying by three orders of magnitude has been investigated via the spectra of …

The event-by-event Monte Carlo code, TREKIS, was recently developed to describe
excitation of the electron subsystems of solids in the nanometric vicinity of a trajectory of a …

The effect of irradiation with C 2+ ions on changes in optical and structural properties of AlN-
based ceramics has been studied. The choice of C 2+ ions is due to the possibility of …

The study of changes in physical-chemical and mechanical properties of ceramic nitride
materials as a result of the effect of heavy ions is of great interest in the field of radiation …

We have conducted experiments to better understand the extent to which radiation-induced
color changes observed at near-ultraviolet through near-infrared wavelengths for various …

One area that holds promise for nuclear energy advancement, which is the most attractive
industry for eliminating the imbalance in the energy sector and reducing the world's energy …
