Strahlungsalterung
Strahlungsalterung refers to the degradation of materials caused by exposure to ionizing radiation. This phenomenon is significant in various fields, including nuclear engineering, space exploration, and medical device manufacturing. The interaction of radiation with matter can lead to changes in the physical and chemical properties of materials.
In solids, radiation can cause atomic displacements, creating defects within the material's lattice structure. These defects
The type and energy of the radiation, as well as the material's composition and temperature, all influence
