Irradiation method	Experimental program	Advantage	Disadvantage
Ion irradiation	Heavy ion beam bombardment	Irradiation damage at low level	Suppress vacancy defects
Electron irradiation	Accelerated voltage induction	Observe defect formation	Complex and expensive equipment
Neutron irradiation	Reactor irradiation	Large dosage, short time	Difficult to control temperature and dosage
