Handbook of Radiation Effects, Second Edition by Dr. Andrew Holmes-Siedle Owner of REM Oxford Ltd. and Consultant to Brunel University and Len Adams Honorary Professor Associate, Brunel University and Senior Consultant to Spur Electron This book is NEW, just received from the publisher. This revised second edition of a popular handbook for engineers describes the important relationship between high-energy radiation environments, electronic device physics and materials. It is a straightforward account of the problems which arise when high-energy radiation bombards matter and of engineering methods for solving those problems. Radiation effects are a problem encountered in the use of highly engineered materials such as semiconductors, optics and polymers. The finely-tuned properties of these materials may change drastically when exposed to a radiation environment such as a beam of X-rays or electrons, the space environment or the 'hadrons' in CERN's new collider. All of these environments and several more are described. At the core of this book is a discussion of the impact of these environments on the devices used in computing, data processing and communication. While unashamedly oriented to the engineer-designer and manager, with descriptions in a highly readable form, there is no compromise in physical accuracy in the description of high-energy radiation and the effects it produces, such as electronic failure, coloration and the decay of strength. A great breadth of technical data, such as may be needed to make quick decisions, is presented, with literature references and a compendium of websites which have been tested and used by the authors. Review from the First Edition: `Compiled by two highly experienced researchers ... Advanced scientific training is not required for understanding the material ... Excellent collection of references for each of the 15 chapters.' quoted from "Choice" Contents (new topics in bold type): Radiation, Physics and Measurement; Radiation Environments (including human risks from the terrestrial environment); Response of Materials and Devices to Radiation including defect cascades; Metal- Oxide-Semiconductor (MOS) Devices including dual dielectrics; Bipolar Transistors; Diodes, Solar Cells, Optoelectronics; Power Devices; Optical Media including colour centres; Polymers and Organics including electronic films; Shielding; Computer Methods; Radiation Testing; Radiation-Hardening of Parts; Equipment and Hardness Assurance; Appendices: Useful general and geophysical data; Useful radiation data including Ci-Bq chart; Useful data on materials; Bibliography of RADFET dosimetry; New depth-dose curves for typical satellite orbits; Degradation in polymers; Compendium of Websites.
