An expression for estimating the number of atoms displaced during the irradiation of monolayer graphene with neutrons

The existing mathematical expressions, used to evaluate the number of atoms displaced by particle irradiation of materials, are not applicable to 2D structures like graphene. In a previous work (J. Radioanal. Nucl.Chem, 2011, 289,1, 167- 172) a model was developed for performing such evaluations in the case of graphene irradiated with heavy ions and with light charged particles. In the present paper we report the generalization of the model to the graphene irradiated with neutrons in the energy range 0- 2 MeV.
