Abstract. Dependence of paramagnetic component of silicon magnetic susceptibility on pre-irradiation by fast neutrons (fn) after subsequent thermal treatment of samples at 700-1000 î Ñ has been studied. It has been shown based on the measurements of magnetic susceptibility that the value of the paramagnetic component arising after the said thermal treatment of silicon is influenced by up to 10 18 fn/cm 2 pre-irradiation. With the increase of the irradiation rate this impact decreases significantly. Probable mechanisms of defect creation explaining the discovered peculiarity are discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
