  • Patent number: 9869773
    Abstract: A detector for high-energy radiation, e.g., for x-radiation and/or UV radiation, may include (a) a substrate having a first electrical contact, (b) optionally a first intermediate layer, (c) a layer including an organic matrix of a photoactive material and insoluble scintillator particles distributed substantially homogeneously in the organic matrix, (d) optionally a second intermediate layer, and (e) a second electrical contact, wherein the mixture ratio between the scintillator particles and the organic matrix in layer (c) is selected in such a way that the intermediate space filled with the organic matrix has a distance between two scintillator particles that corresponds to at most five times the depth of penetration of the emitted radiation of the scintillator particles. A method for producing a corresponding detector is also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20170293037
    Abstract: A detection apparatus is provided for detection of x-ray radiation, with a lower layer arranged between a lower electrode and a middle electrode. In an embodiment, the lower layer includes at least one first perovskite. In an embodiment, a first voltage is able to be applied between the lower electrode and the middle electrode; and an upper layer is arranged between an upper electrode and the middle electrode. The upper layer features at least one second perovskite and a second voltage is able to be applied between the upper electrode and the middle electrode. Finally, an evaluation device, which is coupled to the upper layer and the lower layer, is embodied to detect an interaction of x-ray radiation with the first perovskite and an interaction of x-ray radiation with the second perovskite.

  • Publication number: 20170115405
    Abstract: A detector for X-ray and/or gamma radiation, including at least one radiation source and at least one interlayer in the case of an electrode, wherein a neutralization of trap states at the electrode and rise times and decay times in the millisecond range, as are required for the application, can be achieved by the corresponding arrangement. A method for producing the detector is also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20160327655
    Abstract: A conversion film is disclosed for converting ionizing radiation into light and for producing charge carriers via the produced light. The conversion film includes a conversion layer having a plurality of scintillator particles embedded into a binder, wherein the binder contains at least one first organic semiconductor material. A radiation detector for detecting ionizing radiation including such a conversion film is also disclosed, as well as a method for producing such a conversion film. The method for producing the conversion film may include producing a mixture from a plurality of scintillator particles and a binder containing an organic semiconductor material, producing a stratiform structure from the mixture, and forming a conversion layer by solidifying the stratiform structure.
