What Can Be Expected from High-Z Semiconductor Detectors?
TL;DR: In this paper, all potential compounds which can be formed by the binary combination of elements from the periodic chart were considered as possible detector materials and a rank-ordered list of the most promising materials for further development was given as well as an assessment of the prospects for future success.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recent Advances with HgI2 X-Ray Detectors
TL;DR: In this paper, a HgI2 x-ray detector up to 16 mm3 has been made from single crystals grown from the vapor phase, and its growth, detector fabrication, and transport properties are described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Theoretical Band Structure Analysis on Possible High-Z Detector Materials
TL;DR: Theoretical energy band structure calculations have been utilized to investigate several high-Z materials for potential use as ambient temperature radiation detectors using the pseudopotential technique, the band structure for HgI2 has been determined and the effective masses of the holes and electrons have been estimated as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prognosis for High-Z Semiconductor Detectors
TL;DR: In this paper, a Monte-Carlo computational model has been used to simulate x-ray spectral response in semiconductor detectors, including one-dimensional charge collection in an arbitrary electric field profile and including trapping and electronics system effects.
