Description

This lecture covers the history and principles of semiconductor detectors for radiation detection, including the electronic band structure, charge carrier concentration, doping, p-n junctions, and detection chain. It explains the operation of intrinsic and extrinsic semiconductors, the impact of temperature on charge mobility, and the role of energy bands in semiconductors. The lecture also discusses the importance of cooling elemental crystals, the effects of doping on crystal conductivity, and the function of p-n junctions in detecting ionizing radiation.
