Quantifying the effect of this phenomenon involves calculating displacement per atom using the Norgett−Robinson−Torrens model. This phenomenon causes malfunction when the collected charge it induces exceeds the critical charge. This phenomenon can cause metals to swell as a consequence of the Wigner (“vig-ner”) effect. Usage of borophosphosilicate glass in electronics increases susceptibility to this phenomenon. Replacing bulk silicon with silicon-on-insulator is a common method of (*) "hardening" against this phenomenon. This external phenomenon is the most common source of a type of soft error called a single-event upset. Electronics used in outer space must be shielded from this phenomenon, which can cause random bit flips. Total ionizing dose is a measure of the intensity of, for 10 points, what phenomenon detected using a Geiger counter? ■END■
ANSWER: ionizing radiation [or cosmic rays; accept ionization until “total ionizing dose”; accept answers which specify specific types of radiation that use the word radiation like "neutron radiation"; prompt on solar flares; prompt on single-event errors or single event upsets with “what causes those?”; antiprompt on photons, light, protons, neutrons, X-rays, gamma rays, alpha particles, beta particles, electrons, or gamma particles]
