Radiation Synthesis of Materials and Compounds

This reference explores the preparation of various types of materials and chemical compounds using ionizing radiation (alpha particles, beta particles, gamma rays, X-rays, neutron, proton, and ion beams). It is organized according to material type, covering the various radiation sources within each material class, with an introduction briefly describing the main radiation types. The book presents contributions from leaders in the area of radiation synthesis of materials and radiation damage, providing thorough and expert information for a wide range of readers, including advanced students, researchers, industrial practitioners, and university educators. It includes a CD with color images.
