Thermally activated defect suppression in neutron-irradiated β-Ga₂O₃: from damage tolerance to active defect mitigation

Gallium oxide (Ga₂O₃), an ultra-wide bandgap semiconductor, is a promising platform for next-generation nuclear sensors in extreme environments. However, a key challenge remains: can radiation-induced damage be intrinsically mitigated during operation rather than passively tolerated? The interplay between defect format...
