Abstract
Studies performed by Zeljko Pastuovic at ANSTO’s microprobe facility, in collaboration with a team of international researchers, are helping to understand, model and predict the detrimental influence of ionising radiation on semiconducting materials required in millions of electronic devices. The research aims to develop materials and devices that are able to better withstand the damaging effects of high energy particles present in harsh radiation environments, such as solar cells, and power satellites in space, as well as materials used in high-energy physics and accelerators. These studies will help semiconductor, aerospace and other industries to better understand and extend the life of electronic devices.
