The structural and electronic properties of and semiconductor detectors at various concentrations x = 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1 of Selenium (Se) were determined by using the full potential-linearized augmented plane wave (FP-LAPW) based on the density functional theory (DFT). The compositional dependence of such properties was analysed and discussed. The concentration dependence of lattice parameter and bulk modulus show nonlinearity. All the investigated alloys have a direct bandgap (Γ-Γ) which decreasesnonlinearly with increase in Se concentration. On the other hand, Geant4 simulations have been performed for studying the absolute and full-energy peak detection efficiencies and energy resolution at 1.5”×1.5” of these alloys as semiconductor detectors in the 511-1332 keV gamma-ray energy range. Ours findings are in a good agreement with the available theoretical and experimental data. We hope that our results serve as are reference for future theoretical and experimental researches.
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.
