Simulation of Proton Beam Effects in Thin Insulating Films

Figure 1

Plots of vacancy concentrations and mass energy losses (LET and NIEL divided by material density) along the depth of a silicon dioxide (SiO2) insulating film. Results were obtained from simulations of 104 proton histories, which included subcascades of recoiling atoms.
