Nanocrystalline composites are finding applications in high-radiation environments due to their excellent mechanical and electronic properties. We show, however, that at the smallest particle sizes, radiation damage effects can be so strongly enhanced that under the right conditions, materials that have never been made amorphous can become highly susceptible to irradiation-induced amorphization. Because light-weight, high-strength nanocomposites are potential materials for spacecraft shielding and sensor systems, these fundamental results have significant implications for the design and selection of materials to be used in environments where a large ion flux will be encountered.
