Cadmium Telluride - counters and spectrometers
These detectors have several unique properties:
Cadmium Telluride Counters
Sizes range from 1mm3 to 10mm3 with a range of mounts, including resin encapsulation, TO39 can, aluminium box with BNC connector. For imaging applications, high mounting accuracy on PCB's has been developed.
Cadmium Telluride Spectrometers
Sizes from 1mm3 to 200mm3 in the above housings with differing electrode arrangements.
Other Detectors
Planar Ionisation Chambers
Energy resolution below 5keV (122keV, Co-57). Operating range from 15keV to 700keV.
Planar Diodes
For high resolution X-ray and gamma spectroscopy.
Hemispheric detectors
Based on a single charge collection mechanism.
Mercuric Iodide Detectors
This material is a high Z semiconductor, with a large band gap. This makes it suitable for high resolution, room temperature spectroscopy, especially for energies from a few keV to around 100keV. These detectors can be supplied in sizes up to 10 x 10mm, thicknesses typically 0.5 or 1.0, or as arrays.
Silicon Detectors
For X-ray spectroscopy, these detectors are used for room temperature or cooled applications. The main application is in high resolution X-ray spectroscopy at energies below 60keV.
