Cadmium Telluride (CdTe) is one of the excellent semiconductor detector materials. However, the long-term stability of the electrode on CdTe has been relatively understudied. CdTe detectors with Cu-electrode were fabricated to analyze stabilities of the junction between the electrode and the crystal. The fabricated detectors demonstrated excellent rectifying properties after electrical aging,...

Semiconductor radiation detectors with high energy sensitivity are primarily being developed, but there is a demand for semiconductor detectors that can handle low energy levels of around 30 keV or less. Therefore, we propose gallium nitride (GaN) as a new semiconductor detector material, aiming for detectors useful in the low energy range of approximately 10 to 26 keV. GaN has a large...

CdTe as a semiconductor has advantages when used as a radiation detector, such as sensitivity to high energy and the ability to operate at room temperature. However, the disadvantage is that the charge collection efficiency is lower than that of Si and Ge, and a high voltage must be applied to collect a sufficient amount of charge. Therefore, it is necessary to suppress the leakage current...

In X-ray imaging, light elements are transmitted through light elements and scattered and absorbed by high-density metals, so the transmitted image shows the metal portions well. In contrast, neutron imaging transmits light elements such as hydrogen through metal and is scattered and absorbed by light elements such as hydrogen, so that the transmitted image shows the areas containing light...

Thallium bromide (TlBr) is a semiconductor material with a band gap of 2.68 eV. TlBr has a large atomic number (81, 35) and a high density (7.56 g/cm 3), and therefore exhibits high absorption efficiency for X-rays and gamma rays. Due to these excellent physical properties, TlBr is being researched as a suitable material for semiconductor detectors operating at room temperature. TlBr has a low...
