Development of the semiconductor radiation detector
Abstract
The expansion of gold-germanium alpha particle detectors, through such developments as the room temperature heavy particle counters and wider depletion region techniques, to the emergence of germanium gamma semiconductor detectors, and later the fabriction of high purity germanium multidetector arrays is described.
