Additional material characteristics. a–e Optical absorption in the visible range for all target surfaces before (red line) and after (black line) proton irradiation; f Tauc plot and i EDX analysis after irradiation for W as example for all materials; g Tip force as function of piezo displacement for indentation measurements for the tungsten sample as example for all materials (the red line is for estimating the Young’s modulus); h Sketch of the theoretical model used to study the interaction between the conical tip and the material in the scanning model used in this paper
