Researchers and engineers working in nuclear laboratories, nuclear electric plants,
and elsewhere in the radiochemical industries need a comprehensive handbook
describing all possible radiation–chemistry interactions between irradiation and
materials, the preparation of materials under distinct radiation types, the possibility
of damage of materials under irradiation, and more. Radiation nanotechnology is
still practically an undeveloped field, except for some achievements in the
fabrication of metallic nanoparticles under ionizing flows.
Radiation Synthesis of Materials and Compounds presents the state of the art
of the synthesis of materials, composites, and chemical compounds, and describes
methods based on the use of ionizing radiation. It is devoted to the preparation
of various types of materials (including nanomaterials) and chemical compounds
using ionizing radiation (alpha particles, beta particles, gamma rays, x-rays, and
neutron, proton, and ion beams). The book presents contributions from leaders
in the areas of radiation synthesis of materials and radiation damage, providing
thorough and expert information for a wide range of readers, including advanced
students, researchers, industrial practitioners, and university educators.

This book is dedicated to the outstanding Russian radiochemist
and chemical educator Sergey S. Berdonosov
Sergey Serafimovich Berdonosov, Dr. Sci. was born in 1939 in
Moscow, Russia. He was a gold medalist at school in 1956 and
received an excellence diploma from Moscow State University in
1961. His PhD thesis, defended in 1964, was dedicated to zirco-
nium, hafnium, niobium, tantalum, and protactinium bromides,
and his Dr. Sci. thesis (2002) was devoted to the radiochemical
studies of desublimation and new approaches to the determination
of physicochemical properties of substances and materials.
Prof. Berdonosov has been working all his post-student life
in the Department of Radiochemistry, Faculty of Chemistry,
Moscow State University, Russia. He is a professional radiochemist.
Additionally, his research interests include inorganic chemistry, physical chemistry, nanotechnology,
and chemical education. It is possible to affirm that the last activities are the most favorite type of his
dedication. Prof. Berdonosov has worked in the chemistry department for more than 50 years and has
spent the better part of his time teaching the basics of chemistry at the 171st School to more than 1500
students. He had more than 500 students from the Department of Radiochemistry, one of whom, in
particular, has contributed a chapter to this book. He has also made great contributions to the field of
radiochemistry and radioecology and has encouraged their learning at institutes for higher education.
Prof. Berdonosov has written more than 20 well-known textbooks for universities and schools and
serves on the editorial board of Chemistry at School. From 1995 to 1998, he gave more than 100
lectures for teachers in Russia and earlier abroad (La Habana (1969), Belgrade (1979), Sofia (1985)).
Leading research activities conducted by Prof. Berdonosov have resulted in significant achieve-
ments that have formed the base of new technologies. He has also received various awards (1981,
1986), the most famous being the former USSR State Prize in 1989. He started his research in the
field of nanotechnology at a time when this term did not formally exist and was considered as part
of physical chemistry, physics, and chemistry of materials. One of his favorite research activities is
obtaining hollow micro- and nanoparticles of alumina and a series of other inorganic compounds
and using this to create materials that have special properties. His leading studies of kinetics of
physicochemical processes have resulted in new materials having special properties. Recently,
Prof. Berdonosov and his colleagues discovered a series of new phenomena, and work in these areas
is ongoing. Prof. Berdonosov has published more than 300 original research works in national and
international journals and has 4 patents.
We wish Prof. Berdonosov a long and fruitful life and further scientific and educational
achievements.*
* This dedication/tribute was written in coordination with Dr. Ekaterina A. Mendeleeva (Moscow State University, Russia).
