Analysis using a model of irradiation response incorporating length scales.

Main Results:

A specific window of parameter space was identified where gold foams demonstrate radiation tolerance.
Foam behavior is dependent on ligament diameter relative to defect cascade dimensions.
Ligament diameters between approximately 5 nm and a few hundred nanometers (e.g., ~100 nm in Au) show optimal resistance.
Defect migration to surfaces outpaces cascade events in the radiation-tolerant regime.

Conclusions:

Nanoscale gold foams can be engineered for radiation tolerance.
Tailoring ligament size is critical for achieving resistance by optimizing defect recovery.
The findings provide a pathway for designing radiation-hardened porous materials.
