Detailed Description of the Derivation of the Silicon Damage Response Function

Griffin, Patrick J.

T his report provides a set of consistent definitions for radiation damage metrics relevant to the modeling of displacement damage in materials. The limitations/approximations built into the various metrics are discussed, as are the intended applications that gave rise to community use of the damage metrics. Numerical tabulations are provided, based on the latest nuclear data, for recommended values of the neutron displacement kerma factor and various NRT- based damage energy metrics in silicon.
