Russian Physics Journal Aims and scope

Abstract

Results of investigations into the physical properties and radiation stability of InSb microcrystals grown from the vapor phase are presented. The effect of Sn, Al, and Cr dopants on the parameters of microcrystals and their stability to high-energy neutron irradiation are examined. It is reported that microcrystals have already been used in magnetic field sensors and magnetic measuring systems operating under irradiation.
