Radiation Effects in Insulators (REI) is a long-running international conference series dedicated to basic and applied scientific research relating to radiation effects in insulators and non-metallic materials. It is held every second year in locations around the world.

Contents

The REI conference has a long history. Since the first conference was held in 1981, REI has been the international forum to present and discuss the latest achievements in the field of insulating materials modification through different kind of radiation (ions, electrons, neutrons...). The conference regularly attracts about 200 attendees

Topics covered

The REI conference covers a wide range of topics including the following.

Atomistic and Collective Processes of Radiation Effects

  • Fundamental knowledge on atomistic and electronic defect production and stability
  • Irradiation-induced microstructural evolution and material modifications
  • Fundamentals, theory and computer simulations
  • Advances in defect and material characterization
  • Radiation response of nanomaterials
  • Swift heavy ion irradiations
  • Neutron irradiations
  • Laser-solid interactions
  • Electron-solid interactions

    • Irradiated Materials

  • Simple and complex oxides
  • Carbides and nitrides
  • Polymers
  • Ionic crystals
  • Semiconductor and scintillator materials
  • Glasses and silica
  • Carbon-based materials

    • Proceedings

    The proceedings of REI-1 (1981) and REI-3 (1985) were publishied in the peer-reviewed journal Radiation Effects, renamed Radiation Effects and Defects in Solids in 1989. The proceedings of REI-1 are found in volume 64 [issues 1-4] and volume 65 [issues 1-4] of this journal. The proceedings of REI-3 are found in volume 97 [issues 3-4], volume 98 [issues 1-4], and volume 99 [issues 1-4] of this journal.

    The proceedings of REI-2 (1983) and every REI conference since REI-4 (1987) have been published in the peer-reviewed Elsevier journal Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research B. These REI proceedings can be found in the following volumes of this journal: REI-2 (vol. 1), REI-4 (vol. 32), REI-5 (vol. 46), REI-6 (vol. 65), REI-7 (vol. 91), REI-8 (vol. 116), REI-9 (vol.141), REI-10 (vol. 166-167), REI-11 (vol. 191), REI-12 (vol. 218), REI-13 (vol. 250), REI-14 (vol. 266), REI-15 (vol. 268), and REI-16 (vol. 286).
