Abstract:
CdZnTe is one of the most promising semiconductor material in the field of digital X-ray imaging, and may be operated at room temperature. To improve the detector characteristics, ternary systems such as Cd1-xZnxTe were grown by the high pressure Bridgman (HPG) technique. The signal performance characteristics of quasi-resistive Cd1-xZnxTe semiconductor detectors, was studied at different directions of irradiation, within the X-ray diagnostic energy range. The experimental results suggest that the total efficiency of these semiconductor detectors depends upon the energy absorption efficiency as well as the charge collection efficiency. This imaging detector allows one to investigate methods to improve the detection and imaging performance parameters as part of the development of an X-ray imaging system.

X-ray Diffraction of Biological Samples
According to Bragg's law, when X-rays strike the sample positioned on a stage, the rays are scattered by the electron clouds around the sample atoms. The X-ray diffraction or scattering is caused by constructive interference of the X-ray waves that reflect off the internal crystal...
