Abstract:
3D and 2D organic hybrid perovskites, as well as double perovskites, have demonstrated their suitability for direct X-ray detection. However, the sensitivity and stability of 3D perovskite X-ray detectors are currently being hindered by the existing constraints on ion movement. Therefore, there is an immediate need to develop X-ray detectors that are both highly sensitive and stable while also being environmentally friendly. The novel low-dimensional perovskites demonstrate exceptional inherent stability and effectively mitigate ion migration, thereby showcasing their remarkable photoelectric performance. Inspired by this, a solution crystallization method is employed to synthesize novel single crystals (SCs) of one dimensional (1D) (TMHD)SbBr5. The dimensions of the chained (TMHD)SbBr5 SC are 13 × 1.3 × 1.2 mm3 in size. The device based on a perovskite chain (TMHD)SbBr5 exhibits unique anisotropic X-ray detection performance with a sensitivity of 62.8 and 30.5 µC Gyair -1cm-2 in the parallel and perpendicular orientations, respectively. It can lead to the directional movement of ions, resulting in large carrier mobility under the action of electric fields, and effectively increase the sensitivity to X-ray detection.

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...

Diffraction
Diffraction is the change in the direction of travel experienced by an electromagnetic wave when it encounters a physical barrier whose dimensions are comparable to those of the wavelength of the light. X-rays are electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths about as long as the distance between neighboring...
