Abstract
In this paper we present the results of measurements on CsPbBr3 perovskite crystals grown by the Bridgman-Stockbarger method which have shown promise as X- and gamma-ray detection media. The crystal structure, trap concentration (3.45 × 1010 cm−3), specific resistivity (1.5 × 109 Ω cm) and other electrophysical characteristics which determine the spectrometric performance were examined. The X- and gamma-ray performance of planar, hemispherical and ring test detectors based on CsPbBr3 crystals of dimensions of 5.0 × 5.0 × 3.0 mm3 were evaluated. The energy resolution of the detector with ring electrodes measured using standard 241Am, 57Co and 137Cs and 60Co radioactive sources was: 2.3 keV (16%) at 14.0 keV; 2.7 keV (4.5%) at 59.5 keV; 12.0 keV (1.8%) at 662 keV and 18.6 keV (1.4%) at 1332 keV. The measured hole mobility-lifetime products (μτ) were as high as 3 × 10−3 cm2/V.
期刊介绍:
Section A of Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research publishes papers on design, manufacturing and performance of scientific instruments with an emphasis on large scale facilities. This includes the development of particle accelerators, ion sources, beam transport systems and target arrangements as well as the use of secondary phenomena such as synchrotron radiation and free electron lasers. It also includes all types of instrumentation for the detection and spectrometry of radiations from high energy processes and nuclear decays, as well as instrumentation for experiments at nuclear reactors. Specialized electronics for nuclear and other types of spectrometry as well as computerization of measurements and control systems in this area also find their place in the A section.
Theoretical as well as experimental papers are accepted.
