Popis: In this article, we report some examples of how high-energy electron irradiation can be used as a tool for shaping material properties turning the generation of point-defects into an advantage beyond the presumed degradation of the properties. Such an approach is radically different from what often occurs when irradiation is used as a test for radiation hard materials or devices degradation in harsh environments. We illustrate the potential of this emerging technique by results obtained on two families of materials, namely semiconductors and superconductors.
