The results of studying GaAs samples with built-in pi - nu junctions as the base for the construction of radiation-resistant coordinate-sensitive detectors are presented. The GaAs samples have been exposed to the beam of the linear proton accelerator, using an Al target for neutron production. The I-V characteristics of GaAs samples have been analysed to investigate the change in their properties. The study of the radiation resistance of the GaAs samples has shown that their main characteristics (charge collection efficiency, signal-to-noise ratio) are degraded by less than 20% at the integral neutron fluence of 1.2*1015 cm-2.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
