Book Description
A series of experiments was conducted to determine the feasibility of using hydrogenated amorphous silicon (.cap alpha.-Si:H) as solid state thin film charged particle detectors. 241Am alphas were successfully detected with .cap alpha.-Si:H devices. The measurements and results of these experiments are presented. The problems encountered and changes in the fabrication of the detectors that may improve the performance are discussed.
