Detection of millimeter-wave radiation by cluster crystals
Abstract
NaX-Te cluster crystals with a resistance of about 100 ohm have been prepared and investigated. Experimental results are presented on the volt-ampere characteristics of the crystals and on the bias-current dependence of the volt-watt and limiting sensitivity at a temperature of 300 K. It is concluded that these crystals are suitable for the detection of millimeter-wave radiation with a high volt-watt sensitivity and are superior in their properties to microwave detectors based on composite and superlattice materials.
