Shortlist wide-bandgap candidates for radiation testing.

Radiation-Hard Materials Screener

Candidates ranked by DFT bandgap and hull stability. Endpoint: GET /v1/discovery/radiation-hard.

Key outcomes

Wide-bandgap
oxide and nitride focus
DFT + irradiation
bandgap and retention evidence
Space + defense
application focus

What goes in

Inputs this feature expects

  • Minimum bandgap for the target radiation environment
  • Result limit for the shortlist
  • Mission context to guide review of the ranked candidates

What comes out

Outputs your team can act on

  • Ranked candidates with bandgap, hull energy, and measured mobility/carrier retention where available
  • Comparison against radiation-hard benchmarks (sapphire, SiC, GaN)
  • Patent landscape check for each shortlisted candidate

Workflow

How teams use Radiation-Hard Materials Screener

01

Define the radiation environment

Set the minimum bandgap that matches the target mission, then review irradiation evidence alongside DFT properties.

02

Screen the candidate space

Lattice Graph filters the indexed structures for wide-bandgap oxides and nitrides, then cross-checks experimental irradiation retention data where it exists.

03

Validate and compare

Survivors are benchmarked against known radiation-hard materials and checked for patent conflicts before advancing to experimental validation.

Best fit

Where this feature fits best

  • Aerospace and defense contractors qualifying materials for LEO, GEO, or deep-space missions
  • Nuclear energy programs seeking radiation-tolerant structural ceramics
  • Power electronics teams designing wide-bandgap devices for high-radiation environments
