Abstract: Disclosed herein are tritium detection devices and methods of making and use thereof. For example, disclosed herein are tritium detection devices comprising: a tritium detection region comprising a tritium absorption layer and an anti-diffusion layer; a Schottky contact region comprising a Schottky contact layer; a semiconductor layer, the semiconductor layer being a layer comprising a semiconductor; an epitaxial semiconductor layer, the epitaxial semiconductor layer being an epitaxial layer of the semiconductor; and an Ohmic contact layer.

Abstract: A multi-pixel x-ray source is provided. The x-ray source includes a plurality of transmission target assemblies. The transmission target assembly includes a tungsten target and a diamond substrate. The substrate includes a first transmission surface and a second transmission surface opposite first transmission surface. The substrate further includes a first side surface and a second side surface disposed between the first and second transmission surfaces. The target covers the first transmission surface of the substrate. The transmission target assembly further includes a base. The base surrounds the first and second side surfaces of substrate, exposing a collimator surface of the second transmission surface and the target. The transmission target assembly is configured to transmit x-ray generated by the target through the target and the substrate.
