Title: Research on CdZnTe and Other Novel Room Temperature Gamma Ray Spectrometer Materials

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/908231· OSTI ID:908231

Room temperature gamma-ray spectrometers are being developed for a number of years for national security applications where high sensitivity, low operating power and compactness are indispensable. The technology has matured now to the point where large volume (several cubic centimeters) and high energy resolution (approximately 1% at 660 eV) of gamma photons, are becoming available for their incorporation into portable systems for remote sensing of signatures from nuclear materials.
