Abstract
The intent of this thesis is to explore the impact of utilizing 241-Americium Beryllium (241-AmBe) as a neutron radiation source on semiconductors. Semiconductors play a crucial role in spacecraft operations, providing vital functions such as power, communication, and storage solutions. By employing 241-AmBe as a neutron source, the materials can be safely handled within minutes after exposure, making it a highly favored choice for conducting radiation experiments on materials.
