International Conference on Radiation Effects in Insulators

The REI conference covers a wide range of topics including the following. Atomistic and Collective Processes of Radiation Effects • Fundamental knowledge on atomistic and electronic defect production and stability • Irradiation-induced microstructural evolution and material modifications • Fundamentals, theory and computer simulations • Advances in defect and material characterization • Radiation response of nanomaterials • Swift heavy ion irradiations • Neutron irradiations • Laser-solid interactions • Electron-solid interactions Irradiated Materials • Simple and complex oxides • Carbides and nitrides • Polymers • Ionic crystals • Semiconductor and scintillator materials • Glasses and silica • Carbon-based materials • Nanocomposites and nanostructured materials Applications • Nuclear materials: fission, fusion and waste forms • Functional nanocomposites • Photonic, bio-medicine and sensing materials • Micro- and nano-patterning • Materials processing with swift heavy ions and cluster beams == Proceedings ==
