Characteristics of impurity-doped GaSe radiation detectors

  • 1. Toyama Univ. (Japan). Faculty of Engineering

Description

The properties of GaSe radiation detectors doped with Si, Ge and Sn were investigated. It was found that doping with these impurities substantially decreased the leakage current and that most detectors doped with the impurities at about 0.005 to 0.1 at.% showed fairly good energy resolutions from 4 to 15 % for 241Am 5.5 MeV alpha particles, while most pure GaSe detectors did not function because of their excessively large leakage current.
