The recent rapid demand for large-volume X-ray and γ-ray spectrometers and imaging
arrays have triggered tremendous opportunities in the field of astronomy and high energy
physics, nuclear medicine, industrial on-line monitoring, and national security. The large
mobility and carrier lifetime of perovskite single crystals and the high atomic numbers of Pb,
I and Br make them ideal for X-ray and γ-ray detection. Here, we report centimeter-sized
detector-grade APbBr3 (A=Methylammonium, Cs) perovskite crystals grown using solution
method. The resulting single crystals exhibited high X-ray sensitivity and mobility lifetime
products (μτ). In addition, we demonstrate a potential candidate the 0-D perovskite material
Cs2TeI6 grown by electrostatic assisted spray (E-spray) deposition, as a sensitive all-inorganic
X-ray photoconductor for direct photon-to-current conversion X-Ray detectors. The
electrospray apparatus can be readily automated and fully integrated with the existing display
systems based on TFT or CMOS, which will help to implement and scale up this device for
manufacturing next generation of flat panel X-ray imagers.
