The effects of irradiation on nanomaterials depend on various factors, including the type of radiation, the dose, and the nature of the material:
Structural Changes: Irradiation can induce structural changes such as amorphization, phase transformation, or the formation of new phases. Chemical Reactions: It can trigger chemical reactions, leading to the formation of new compounds or the decomposition of existing ones. Electronic Properties: The electronic properties of nanomaterials, such as band gap and carrier mobility, can be significantly altered.
