![In overlapping radiation damage events, heat from the electrons to the lattice due to the electronic energy loss and electron-phonon interaction enhances defect recombination locally, resulting in more single defects and smaller vacancy clusters (bottom), compared to when the lattice-electron interaction is ignored (top).](/sites/default/files/styles/list_page_thumbnail/public/2020-07/Picture7_0.png?h=e3028e3f&itok=xuCFqhqR)
Overlapping high energy irradiation events result in local heating of the lattice and annealing of defects created from previous events and defects due to the current event, suppressing the accumulation of displaced atoms and the formation of large vaca
