Scintillators
CZT (Cadmium Zinc Telluride) detectors, made from CdZnTe single crystals, exhibit high efficiency and
energy resolution in detecting X-rays and gamma rays. Unlike typical
scintillation detectors, CZT detectors directly convert X and gamma rays into
electrical signals, eliminating the need for additional optoelectronic
conversion devices. They possess superior energy resolution at room temperature
compared to traditional detectors and can directly measure α and β rays. With
cadmium, zinc, and tellurium elements offering a high atomic number and
density, CZT proves an exceptional material for detecting these types of
radiation. These detectors offer swift response times, reduced background
noise, and find wide applications in medical imaging, nuclear physics, security
screenings, and various other fields.
