Abstract :
The aim of this work is to study the possibility to increase the radiation hardness of Cd0.9Zn0.1Te crystal using laser radiation. Pulsed Nd:YAG laser for this aim was used. Estimation of the crystalline lattice defects before and after irradiation by γ-ray using photoluminescence method in the experiments was applied. Experimental results showed the increase of the radiation hardness of CdZnTe crystal after irradiation by laser at intensity 1.20-1.80 MW/cm2.
