Applications of Accelerators in the Quantum Technology Era (en Inglés) - David Jamieson

This book explores new experimental techniques and theoretical models to deepen an understanding of radiation effects and ion interaction processes in order to design materials for devices for the emerging quantum technology era.

Applications include tailored sensors that respond to ionizing radiation and other electromagnetic phenomena; sensors with high radiation hardness; and materials that contain specific engineered defects with desirable optical, magnetic, or electrical properties.

The chapters detail direct experimental investigations into the dynamics of radiation-induced defects, including their generation, annihilation, and transformation, on a time scale ranging from femto-seconds to seconds which requires a more detailed understanding to develop the potential of ion beams for the new technology era.

It will be a valuable reference for graduate students and researchers that employ ion beams and want to engage in quantum technologies. The book will also be of interest to scientists and engineers from industry that want to make use of ion beams in quantum technologies or learn more about the potential use of ion beams in the field.

Key Features:

• Provides a comprehensive introduction to this exciting and growing field of research.

• Up-to-date with the latest cutting-edge research and practical guidance for researchers and those in industry to apply to their work.
