Advancements in the Application of CVD Diamond Detectors for Space Radiation Monitoring

With advancements in space exploration, the extreme conditions of space-such as ionizing radiation, temperature gradients, and micrometeoroid impacts-pose significant challenges to the operational stability and longevity of space-based detection systems. Therefore, the development of detectors with enhanced resilience and reliability has become imperative. Recent advancements in synthetic diamond detectors fabricated through chemical vapor deposition (CVD) have demonstrated high radiation tolerance, favorable thermal stability, and reliable radiation-detection performance. These attributes position diamond detectors as promising candidates for space radiation monitoring applications. This study systematically analyzed the physical properties, fabrication methodologies, radiation detection principles, and prospective applications of diamond detectors within the context of space environments, highlighting their advantages in comparison to conventional detection technologies.
