Abstract :
New radiation detector materials based on Transition Metal Oxides (TMOs) are being developed for applications in radiation protection and dosimetry. The TMOs are cheap, simple to manufacture and have semi-conductive properties indicating either p-type or n-type characteristics. Thus p-n junction diodes may be formed by combining p-type and n-type specific TMOs to produce radiation sensitive detectors. This has been done by layering the materials in a flame-spraying process.
