TL;DR: In this article, the authors report on progress with Schottky diode and p-i-n diode GaAs detectors for minimum ionising particles and show that the radiation hardness and potential speed of simple diodes is more than competitive with silicon detector.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The GaAs detectors for minimum ionizing particles fabricated with commercial undoped SI GaAs show good quality as minimum ionising particle detectors as mentioned in this paper and a discussion is given of the present understanding of the charge transport mechanism in the detectors since it influences their charge collection efficiency.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, a microstrip detector was constructed from gallium arsenide (GaAs) wafers made from undoped LEC (liquid-encapsulated Czochralski) semi-insulating substrate material.

TL;DR: In this paper, the progress on the development of gallium arsenide particle detectors is reviewed and the trap properties using α particle DLTS measurements and C-V measurements are described.
Journal ArticleDOI
A preliminary study of the response of a gallium arsenide detector to alpha particles
TL;DR: In this paper, a GaAs detector was used to detect alpha particles from an 241 Am source with low charge collection efficiency, which was attributed to the trapping of holes. But the results were limited.
