Scientific paper

This paper reports the results of two separate heavy ion irradiation experiments. In the first set, nanomaterial samples including single and multi wall carbon nanotubes and electrospun carbon nanofibers, with well-graphitized vapor grown carbon fibers as controls, were irradiated using a primary beam of Krypton-86 ions at 142 Amp MeV. The single and multi wall carbon nanotube samples sustained little damage from the highest radiation dose. In the second set, a gallium nitride nanowire-based field effect transistor was irradiated using a primary beam of Krypton-78 ions at 140 Amp MeV. The nanocircuit maintained normal function under high active bias and high radiation dose. Krypton-86 and Krypton-78 are representative of high-Z heavy ions encountered in a space radiation environment. Results from the pre-irradiation structure and optoelectronic characterization of the gallium nitride nanowires are also reported.
