Regularities of changes in the mechanical properties (micro- or nanohardness, fracture toughness at indentation, and steady-state creep rate) and electrical characteristics (Hall constant, conductivity, and concentration of electrically active defects) of silicon single crystals under low-dose (F < 1012 cm–2) low-intensity (I ~ 106 cm–2∙s–1) beta-irradiation are described. The mechanism of nonmonotonic beta-induced softening of silicon is discussed.
