  • Abstract
    A review of radiation damage processes in MgO and MgF2 is presented. The damage processes are discussed in terms of their efficiency and energy dependence. The damage process in MgF2 is due to radiolysis which is a much more efficient process than that due to elastic collisions between the incident radiation and the lattice ions. The latter process is dominant in MgO and ZnO and radiolysis apparently does not occur in these materials.
