Abstract
Perovskite-based radiation detectors have attracted increasing attention in a broad range of fields, such as homeland security, medical diagnosis, and industrial inspection, due to their excellent physical properties including high attenuation coefficients, attractive charge transport properties, tunable bandgap, and most importantly, cost-effective manufacturing. However, to increase the stopping power to high energy radiation, most of the previously studied perovskite radiation detector materials contain lead (Pb), which is toxic and poses health concerns to both human-beings and the environment. As such, there is a strong need to develop lead-free perovskite materials for radiation detection. Here, we report our efforts to develop lead-free perovskite, FA3Bi2I9, single crystals for X-ray detection and imaging applications. A series of annealing experiments were conducted to improve the properties of FA3Bi2I9 crystals for radiation detection. Systematic microstructural-, electrical-, optical-, and mechanical- characterization results, together with X-ray response testing, will be presented and discussed.
