X-ray detector is a key component of instruments like XRF, XRD, which are used to characterize a material’s component. Among different x-ray detectors like CsI, Si(Li), SDD, Si-PIN, the later two silicon-based detectors are the most popular ones due to the low production cost, small size, and high spectrum resolution. The XR-100CR is a Si-PIN …

HPGe is the best detector for gamma-ray spectroscopy, with a resolution <0.3%. HPGe detector is similar to a PN diode, where a bias voltage (several kV) creates a depleted region. This region is sensitive to ionizing radiations, especially X-ray and gamma ray. When a high energy photon from such radiations interact with the material in …
XRF is one of the most commonly used technologies applying nuclear spectroscopy. It applies x-ray to excite electrons in the atoms of a sample, and the x-ray detector can determine the energies emitted from the excited atoms. This type of spectrum is called x-ray fluorescence spectrum, useful in quantitatively determining the identity and concentration of …
