This book was released on 1998 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The literature of radiation damage measurements on cadmium zinc telluride (CZT), cadmium telluride (CT), and mercuric iodide (HgI2) is reviewed for the purpose of determining their applicability to space applications. CZT strip detectors exposed to intermediate energy (1.3 MeV) proton fluences exhibit increased interstrip leakage after 101° p/cm2 and significant bulk leakage after 1012 p/cm2. CZT exposed to 200 MeV protons shows a two-fold loss in energy resolution after a fluence of 5 x 109 p/cm2 in thick (3 mm) planar devices but little effect in 2 mm devices. No energy resolution effects were noted from moderated fission spectrum neutrons after fluences up to 101° n/cm2, although activation was evident. CT detectors show resolution losses after fluences of 3 x 109 p/cm2 at 33 MeV for chlorine-doped detectors. Indium doped material may be more resistant. Neutron exposures (8 MeV) caused resolution losses after fluences of 2 x 101° n/cm2. Mercuric iodide has been studied with intermediate energy protons (10 to 33 MeV) at fluences up to 1012 p/cm2 and with 1.5 GeV protons at fluences up to 1.2 x 108 p/cm2. Neutron exposures at 8 MeV have been reported at fluences up to 1015 n/cm2. No radiation damage was found under these irradiation conditions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The literature of radiation damage measurements on cadmium zinc telluride (CZT), cadmium telluride (CT), and mercuric iodide (HgI2) is reviewed and in the case of CZT supplemented by new alpha particle data. CZT strip detectors exposed to intermediate energy (1.3 MeV) proton fluences exhibit increased interstrip leakage after 101° p/cm2 and significant bulk leakage after 1012 p/cm2. CZT exposed to 200 MeV protons shows a two-fold loss in energy resolution after a fluence of 5 × 109 p/cm2 in thick (3 mm) planar devices but little effect in 2 mm devices. No energy resolution effects were noted from moderated fission spectrum of neutrons after fluences up to 101° n/cm2, although activation was evident. Exposures of CZT to 5 MeV alpha particle at fluences up to 1.5 × 101° [alpha]/cm2 produced a near linear decrease in peak position with fluence and increases in FWHM beginning at about 7.5 × 109 [alpha]/cm2. CT detectors show resolution losses after fluences of 3 × 109 p/cm2 at 33 MeV for chlorine-doped detectors. Indium doped material may be more resistant. Neutron exposures (8 MeV) caused resolution losses after fluences of 2 × 101° n/cm2. Mercuric iodide has been studied with intermediate energy protons (10 to 33 MeV) at fluences up to 1012 p/cm2 and with 1.5 GeV protons at fluences up to 1.2 × 108 p/cm2.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its inception in 1966, the series of numbered volumes known as Semiconductors and Semimetals has distinguished itself through the careful selection of well-known authors, editors, and contributors. The"Willardson and Beer"Series, as it is widely known, has succeeded in publishing numerous landmark volumes and chapters. Not only did many of these volumes make an impact at the time of their publication, but they continue to be well-cited years after their original release. Recently, Professor Eicke R. Weber of the University of California at Berkeley joined as a co-editor of the series. Professor Weber, a well-known expert in the field of semiconductor materials, will further contribute to continuing the series' tradition of publishing timely, highly relevant, and long-impacting volumes. Some of the recent volumes, such as Hydrogen in Semiconductors, Imperfections in III/V Materials, Epitaxial Microstructures, High-Speed Heterostructure Devices, Oxygen in Silicon, and others promise indeed that this tradition will be maintained and even expanded. Reflecting the truly interdisciplinary nature of the field that the series covers, the volumes in Semiconductors and Semimetals have been and will continue to be of great interest to physicists, chemists, materials scientists, and device engineersin modern industry. - One of the first comprehensive works on room-temperature nuclear detectors - Edited by technical experts in the field - Written by recognized authorities from industrial and academic institutions - Focused on the electrical, optical, and structural properties of semiconductors used for room-temperature nuclear detectors
