Large area silicon microdosimeter for dosimetry in high LET space radiation fields: Charge collection study
Silicon microdosimeters for the characterisation of mixed radiation fields relevant to the space radiation environment have been under continual development at the Centre for Medical Radiation Physics for over a decade. These devices are useful for the prediction of single event upsets in microelectronics and for radiation protection of spacecraft crew. The latest development in silicon microdo...
متن کاملCharge collection and radiation hardness of a SOI microdosimeter for medical and space applications.
The first results obtained using a SOI device for microdosimetry applications are presented. Microbeam and broadbeam spectroscopy methods are used for determining minority carrier lifetime and radiation damage constants. A spectroscopy model is presented which includes the majority of effects that impact spectral resolution. Charge collection statistics were found to substantially affect spectr...
متن کاملDetermination of Dose-Equivalent Response of A Typical Diamond Microdosimeter in Space Radiation Fields
Introduction: Microdosimeters are helpful for dose equivalent measurement in unknown radiation fields. The favorable physical and mechanical properties of the detector-grade chemical vapor deposition diamond materials have made the diamond microdosimeters suitable candidate for radioprotection applications in space. The purpose of this work is the investigation of the dose equivalent response o...
متن کاملRadiation Protection Dosimetry in Pulsed Radiation Fields
The application of pulsed radiation fields for research, security screening and medical examinations has increased remarkably in the last years. Testing of active personal and area dosemeters for the operation in pulsed radiation fields is a necessity to judge the suitability of the dosemeter. Up to now, radiation protection dosemeters have only been tested in continuous fields, although they a...
متن کاملSpace-charge-effect-induced large magnetoresistance in silicon
We report that silicon shows large positive magnetoresistance (MR) between 0 and 3 T more than 1,000 per cent at 300 K and 3,000 per cent at 25 K. The experiment on lightly doped silicon reveals that when the carrier density decreases below 10 cm the MR becomes pronounced due to the space-charge effect. We propose that the quasi-neutrality breaking of the space-charge effect can introduce elect...
