摘要
In recent decades organic electronics has entered the mainstream of consumer electronics, driven by innovations in scalability and low power applications, and low-cost fabrication methods. The potential for using organic semiconductor electronic devices as radiation detectors, and in particular for neutron detection is reported. We report results of laboratory tests using alpha particles as well as the response to thermal and fast neutrons covering the energy range 0.025 eV to 16.5 MeV. GEANT4 simulations are used to provide a detailed understanding of the performance and potential of this emerging technology for radiation detection.
