The all-inorganic CsPbBr3 perovskite has advantages over the organic-inorganic perovskites for X- and gamma-rays detection due to the structural stability. It also has a series of desirable properties for ionizing radiation detection such as high attenuation coefficient, a wide band gap energy, and a large mobility-lifetime (mt) product. We have grown and fabricated CsPbBr3 single crystals into gamma detector and was able to acquire gamma energy spectrum from Cs-137 and Co-57 sources. The surface condition and metal contacts are proved to be critical factors in improving the performance of the detector for gamma ray detection. The energy resolution, in full-width-at-half-maximum, of the gamma spectra is 5.5% at 662 keV and 13.1% at 122 keV, respectively. The 59.5 keV gamma-rays from Np-237 nuclear decay in a Am-241 source is also clearly distinguishable with resolution of 28.3% when the detector is exposed to an Am-241 source. Electron-hole averaged mobility-lifetime mt product is evaluated to be 7.91´10-4 cm2 V-1 by Hecht equation fitting. It has found that the hole mobility is higher than electron mobility, which subsequently affects the resolution of the full energy peak. We demonstrated the effects of a better hole transport properties compared to that of electron at spectroscopy level by acquiring gamma-rays’ spectra, in other words, the overserved lower energy tailing of a full energy peak is attributed to low electron mobility. The small pixel and digital pulse processing (DPP) are suggested as possible solutions to improve the energy resolution of gamma spectrum acquired by CsPbBr3. A DPP algorithm is also developed to process the preamplifier signal with potentially long rise time (in the order of tens of micro seconds) in perovskite detectors, which ensures the elimination of ballistic deficit in the charge collection as well as in pulse shaping for distortion-free energy histogram reconstruction.
nanoGe is a prestigious brand of successful science conferences that are developed along the year in different areas of the world since 2009. Our worldwide conferences cover cutting-edge materials topics like perovskite solar cells, photovoltaics, optoelectronics, solar fuel conversion, surface science, catalysis and two-dimensional materials, among many others.
Previously nanoGe Spring Meeting (NSM) and nanoGe Fall Meeting (NFM), MATSUS is a multiple symposia conference focused on a broad set of topics of advanced materials preparation, their fundamental properties, and their applications, in fields such as renewable energy, photovoltaics, lighting, semiconductor quantum dots, 2-D materials synthesis, charge carriers dynamics, microscopy and spectroscopy semiconductors fundamentals, etc.
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics (HOPV) is celebrated yearly in May. The main topics are the development, function and modeling of materials and devices for hybrid and organic solar cells. The field is now dominated by perovskite solar cells but also other hybrid technologies, as organic solar cells, quantum dot solar cells, and dye-sensitized solar cells and their integration into devices for photoelectrochemical solar fuel production.
Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics
The main topics of the Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics (IPEROP) are discussed every year in Asia-Pacific for gathering the recent advances in the fields of material preparation, modeling and fabrication of perovskite and hybrid and organic materials. Photovoltaic devices are analyzed from fundamental physics and materials properties to a broad set of applications. The conference also covers the developments of perovskite optoelectronics, including light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
The International Conference on Perovskite Thin Film Photovoltaics Perovskite Photonics and Optoelectronics (NIPHO) is the best place to hear the latest developments in perovskite solar cells as well as on recent advances in the fields of perovskite light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
