Enthalpy Landscape Dictates the Irradiation-Induced Disordering of Quartz†
Under irradiation, minerals tend to experience an accumulation of structural defects, ultimately leading to a disordered atomic network. Despite the critical importance of understanding and predicting irradiation-induced damage, the physical origin of the initiation and saturation of defects remains...
