Bringing together material scattered across many disciplines, Semiconductor Radiation Detectors providesreaders with aconsolidated source of information on the properties of a wide range of semiconductors; their growth, characterization and the fabrication of radiation sensors with emphasis on the X- and gamma-ray regimes. It explores the promise and limitations of both the traditional and new generation of semiconductors and discusses where the future in semiconductor development and radiation detection may lie.

The purpose of this book is two-fold; firstly to serve as a text book for those new to the field of semiconductors and radiation detection and measurement, and secondly as a reference book for established researchers working in related disciplines within physics and engineering.

Features:

• The only comprehensive book covering this topic
• Fully up-to-date with new developments in the field
• Provides a wide-ranging source of further reference material
