Description
We combine theoretical and experimental results to study percolation-driven transport phenomena in an irradiated material. We show that whereas the first transition takes place at the value of amorphous fraction p1 ∼ 0.3, the second transition corresponds to the percolation of depleted phase. The knowledge of the radius of depletion sphere of the isolated damaged region allows one to predict the radiation dose at which the second percolation transition takes place, with dramatic increase in transport
