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.
