Current–voltage characteristics of SiO2 nanoparticles have been studied before and after neutron irradiation within 5 V steps in the voltage range of − 100 V to + 100 V at room temperature (RT). The angle of the current–voltage curve is changed appropriately for neutron irradiation periods. Simultaneously, it is seen that the amount of the current flowing through the environment increases proportionally to the irradiation period. Moreover, the mechanism of electrical conductivity appropriate to the obtained results is given in this work.
