Scandium deuteride (ScDx) thin films, as an alternative target for deuterium-deuterium (D-D) reaction, are a very important candidate for detection and diagnostic applications. Albeit with their superior thermal stability, the ignorance of the stability of ScDx under irradiation of deuterium ion bea...
