The potential of micro and nano electromechanical systems (M and NEMS) has expanded due to advances in materials and fabrication processes. A wide variety of materials are now being pursued and deployed for M and NEMS including silicon carbide (SiC), III–V materials, thin-film piezoelectric and ferroelectric, electro-optical and 2D atomic crystals such as graphene, hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), and molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂). The miniaturization, functionality and low-power operation offered by these types of devices are attractive for many application areas including physical sciences, medical, space and military uses, where exposure to radiation is a reliability consideration. Understanding the impact of radiation on these materials and devices is necessary for applications in radiation environments. ; Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) (Grant HDTRA1-15-1-0027) ; Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) (Grant HDTRA1-15-1-0035) ; Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) (Grant HDTRA1-15-1-0036) ; Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) (Grant HDTRA1-15-1-0039) ; Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) (Grant HDTRA1-15-1-0060)
