Abstract :
In this work, the use of mixed oxide materials, such as Manganese oxide (MnO) and Tellurium dioxide (TeO2) in the form of thermally evaporated thin film structures, is explored for gamma radiation dosimetry application. All samples showed an increase in the values of current with the increase in the radiation dose up to certain dose levels.
