NIEL Doses are calculated for Si and GaAs using different reactor spectra with ASTM-E722 standards and are compared to currently available NJOY calculators in SR-NIEL—7 website. Following are the results obtained with NJOY 2021 (with ENDF/B.VIII.0) and NJOY 2016 (with ENDF/B.VII.1).

 

Analysis with NJOY 2021 (ENDF/B.VIII.0)

NIEL dose was calculated with  NJOY 2021, with ENDF/B.VIII.0 cross section library, for neutrons in Si, using Robinson or Akkerman partition functions, as a function of the threshold energy. The reactor spectral fluences are those of ITN-ΣΣ (from [Angelescu et al. (1994)]), IPEN/MB-01 (from [Bitelli et al. (2009)]), TRIGA-Vienna (from [Cagnazzo (2014)]),  TRIGA ENEA Casaccia and TAPIRO ENEA Casaccia. TRIGA ENEA spectrum is measured at 100 kW in the Lazy Susan channel. TAPIRO ENEA spectrum is measured at 4 kW in the Radial channel 1. The values are divided by the one obtained with NJOY 2021, Si target, Robinson partition function, Ed=21 eV and ENDF/B.VIII.0.
