However, sometimes the Sun generates solar superstorms. A superstorm is a CME and can contain billions of tons of magnetic plasma that travels the 150 million kilometre distance between the Sun and Earth in a day or more. Once...
Experiments have shown that there is a critical threshold energy deposited from an incident ion or proton is needed to trigger a SEE.For protons, this energy deposition usually takes place through nuclear interactions which result in recoil ions that...
Displacement damage refers to the structural damage imparted on the crystal lattice of the device by highly-energetic particles. This essentially involves the creation of crystal imperfections such as lattice atoms displaced to new defect locations and vacant lattice sites....
