Ion Irradiation in Emerging Materials and Devices: From Fundamentals to Advanced Applications presents new paradigms in the modification of both existing materials and the discovery of new materials by modifying materials at specific locations at the nanoscale. The book explores the effects of ion irradiation on different materials and devices and describes the resultant modifications in their structural, electrical, morphological, optical, and magnetic properties. It also provides an assessment of device performance and a comprehensive literature review. Thorough examination of ion beam-induced synthesis and characterization of various materials is included, along with reports of recent advances in materials modification through radiation, a promising technique for creating materials better suited for a range of specific applications.

Lastly, the book highlights new materials, showcasing promising technologies and enhanced properties. This book will appeal to new and early career researchers as it examines the work done in the field of ion implantation over the past few decades while also proposing potential new areas of research and their applications.
