| This review paper concerns the long-range effect, a phenomenon observed in materials after irradiation. The effect is a significant extension of the classical description of accelerated ion-target interaction, according to which changes in the target material are limited only to the irradiated zone (IZ). The long-range effect involves changes in mechanical and physical properties at depths well beyond the range of ions. The long-range effect is caused by collisions between ions with energies of several tens of keV and the atomic nuclei of the target, and by the interaction of ions with energies of several hundred MeV with the target's electrons. Experiments confirming the occurrence of this effect and the mechanisms of its formation during irradiation of the target by medium- energy and swift ions are presented. The collected experimental results confirm the existence of an irradiation-affected zone (IAZ) across a wide range of materials, including metals, alloys, semiconductors, and insulators. This zone is characterised by the presence of point and complex defects, developed dislocation structures, and microstresses despite the absence of ions in this region. In the IAZ, defects created during irra- diation alter residual stresses, crystal structure, and electrical, mechanical, and tribological properties. The zone's thickness can exceed the ion range many times over and strongly depends on irradiation parameters, particularly the ion fluence and energy, as well as the crystal structure of the target material. The long-range effect reduces the coefficient of friction and limits material wear to depths several dozen times greater than the predicted range of the irradiated ions. Improvements in tribological properties at depths beyond the ion range may be of practical significance for critical components of mechanical devices. This monographic study on the long-range effect is the first of its kind, although the term has been present in the international literature for 50 years. |
