Growth of detector-grade CZT by Traveling Heater Method (THM): An advancement
In this present work we report the growth of Cd0.9Zn0.1Te doped with In by a modified THM technique. It has been demonstrated that by controlling the microscopically flat growth interface, the size distribution and concentration can be drastically reduced in the as-grown ingots. This results in as-grown detector-grade CZT by the THM technique. The three-dimensional size distribution and concent...
متن کاملA new approach to crystal growth of Hg 1 _ ~ Cd ~ Teby the travelling heater method ( THM )
Crystal growth by the travelling heater method (THM) is reported using a source material preparation process that is different from all methods used before. Non-stoichiometric (Hg,Cd)Te melts were homogenized and quenched to prevent macroscopic segregation effects. Inclusions of excess Te were removed during a first THM pass, resulting in stoichiometric solid alloys with a shift of the mole fra...
متن کاملEstimate of Large CZT Detector Absolute Efficiency
This paper presents a simulation of the spectroscopic performance of two large CZT coplanar detectors, 1.5 1.5 cm area and 1.0 cm thick, with coplanar anodes. A code, based on the GEANT libraries and classical Monte Carlo sampling, was developed to simulate experimental scenarios. This code adapts the GEANT capabilities for simulating complex detection systems for spectroscopic studies. Detecto...
متن کاملExperimental results from an Imarad 8]8 pixellated CZT detector
This paper reports experimental results obtained from an 8]8 pixellated CZT detector provided by Imarad Imaging Systems. Three arbitrarily selected pixels were independently tested using c rays of di!erent energies. The signals from an anode pixel and the cathode were read out simultaneously. From the observations of the pulse waveforms from both the anode pixel and the cathode, the electron-in...
متن کاملThe Cadmium Zinc Telluride (CZT) Detector Array Innovation Pathway
This pathway describes the development of soft gamma-ray/hard x-ray detector arrays at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC, or Goddard), through a collaboration between the gamma-ray spectroscopy group and the detector branch. The Cadmium Zinc Telluride (CdZnTe, or CZT) detectors which resulted from this decade-long development were first flown on the wildly successful SWIFT mission in 200...
