Abstract

The development of solid-state radiation dosimeters has been crucial in allowing human workers to thrive while using tools that output ionizing radiation. Here, we report on solid-state tissue-equivalent radiation dosimeters based on PEDOT:PSS. We show reliable measurements of the radiation dosimeters subjected to a wide range of exposure energies and footprints of both X-ray and gamma. In addition, there is a strong indication that the PEDOT:PSS-based devices also give response when introduced to neutron sources. This represents a significant step forward in the production of cheap, reusable radiation dosimeters made with materials of similar radiation cross-section to the human body.
