| The multistage process of silicon radiation defects (RD) modification (accompanied by non-monotonic change of mechanical properties) in conditions of irradiation with low-flux (I = 105 cm-2s-1) is discussed. A qualitative model of quasi-chemical reactions which product is a cluster V2-O-C, responsible for the first maximum of softening, is offered. |
