Achieving Radiation Tolerance through Non-Equilibrium Grain Boundary Structures. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2017 Many methods used to produce nanocrystalline (NC) materials leave behind non-equilibrium grain boundaries (GBs) containing excess free volume and higher energy than their equilibrium counterparts with identical 5 degrees of freedom. Since non-equilibrium

Radiation Tolerance of 65nm CMOS Transistors
Journal of Instrumentation, 2015 We report on the effects of ionizing radiation on 65nm CMOS transistors held at approximately -20C during irradiation. The pattern of damage observed after a total dose of 1 Grad is similar to damage reported in room temperature exposures, but we observe
