Cadmium Telluride Nuclear Radiation Detectors

P. Höschl, P. Polívka, V. Prosser, M. Skřivánková¹ and M. Vidra¹

Cadmium telluride has an excelent gamma-ray stopping power compared with traditional detector materials like Ge and Si. The growth of CdTe from Te solvent was used to obtain material for nuclear radiation detectors. The quality of detectors was tested by ⁵⁷Co and ²⁴¹Am. Total resolution is approximately 7 keV (FWHM) for 122 keV gamma ⁵⁷Co and 5 keV (FWHM) for 59 keV gamma ²⁴¹Am.
