Properties of melt-grown ZnSe solid-state radiation detectors

Charge Transport Properties of CdMnTe Radiation Detectors

Semiconductor gamma and X-ray detectors are finding increase use in medicine, industry, astronomy and national security. Conventional semiconductors consist mainly of germanium and silicon. Their use has however become marginalised in an increasing number of applications due to their physical limitations such as low detection efficiency and the need for bulky cryogenics. Detectors based on wide...

Quantum efficiency of binary-outcome detectors of solid-state qubits

We introduce definitions of the quantum efficiency for binary-outcome qubit detectors with imperfect fidelity, focusing on the subclass of quantum nondemolition detectors. Quantum efficiency is analyzed for several models of detectors, including indirect projective measurement, linear detector in binary-outcome regime, detector of the superconducting phase qubit, and detector based on tunneling...

A class of boron-rich solid-state neutron detectors

Notes on the construction of solid-state detectors.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Solid-state detectors such as diodes and diamonds are useful radiation detectors, particularly for small field measurements, such as in stereotactic dosimetry or in the small sub-field measurements required for intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) . In all small field measurements, positioning of the detector is critical. Generally it is assumed that the center of the ...

A review on melt-state viscoelastic properties of polymer nanocomposites.

The mixing of polymer matrices with nanoparticles to form composite materials has been an area of great research interest. The mechanical and rheological properties of such composite materials are directly related to the properties of the matrix polymer, the properties of the nano-filler, the strength and nature of the interfacial interactions between the polymer matrix and the filler, and fina...
