Structural changes in silicon single crystals irradiated with high-energy
electrons (Е = 18 MeV) were studied. The peculiarities of diffraction reflection curve
behaviour and changes in the profiles of isodiffusion lines in high-resolution reciprocal
space maps (HR-RSMs) were found as a function of the radiation dose. The generalized
dynamic theory of X-ray Bragg-diffraction in crystals comprising defects of several types
(spherical and disc-shaped clusters as well as dislocation loops) and a damaged nearsurface
layer was used for explanation.
