35 Conclusions Distinct stability regimes for the CDO, the SRO and the LRO states could be obtained for electron and ion irradiation Cascade effect decreases the temperature range of stability of LRO state while increases the temperature range of stability of SRO state For electron irradiation, mixed state (SRO and LRO) can co- exist between 450 K and 800 K. No mixed state exist for ion irradiation Low temperature for stability of LRO calculated by Kinetic and stochastic models match with experimental observation for electron irradiation
