Jegal;H. J. Kim","doi":"10.1109/TNS.2025.3562678","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/TNS.2025.3562678","url":null,"abstract":"The novel Tl2LaCl5:Ce (TLC) crystal scintillator has a high density and effective Z number. Hence, a single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) detector equipped with the scintillator has excellent X-ray and <inline-formula> <tex-math>$gamma $ </tex-math></inline-formula>-ray detection efficiency and a high light yield (LY). The feasibility of utilizing the TLC crystal coupled with a silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) was investigated for a compact SPECT detector. The TLC crystal (Ø<inline-formula> <tex-math>$8times 2$ </tex-math></inline-formula> mm) coupled with a one-channel SiPM (<inline-formula> <tex-math>$6.07times 6.07$ </tex-math></inline-formula> mm2) was used. Electrical characteristics of the SiPM were used for optimizing the operating voltage and dynamic range. The <inline-formula> <tex-math>$gamma $ </tex-math></inline-formula>-rays’ energy spectra of 133 Ba, 241Am, and 152 Eu were obtained. The SiPM outputs were digitized utilizing a data acquisition (DAQ) system. The breakdown voltage of the SiPM was measured to be 24.8 V. The operating voltage was fixed as 29.8 V by comparing energy resolutions for different operating voltages under 81-keV <inline-formula> <tex-math>$gamma $ </tex-math></inline-formula>-ray excitation from a 133Ba radioactive source. The linearity of the SiPM was measured to be within 3.7% for up to 8500 incident photons. Owing to the high LY of the TLC crystal and the dynamic range of SiPM, the best energy resolution of the TLC crystal was achieved to be 8.7% full-width-half-maximum at 121.7-keV <inline-formula> <tex-math>$gamma $ </tex-math></inline-formula>-ray at the voltage of 29.8 V. The TLC crystal coupled with SiPM is expected to be utilized for the development of compact SPECT detectors. It can replace conventional photomultiplier detectors and attain a good image quality, comparable to that of a solid-state detector in the SPECT system.","PeriodicalId":13406,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science","volume":"72 5","pages":"1828-1832"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144073301","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The devices have similar epitaxial thickness but different dopings. The higher doping in the epitaxial region results in lower breakdown voltage and typically leads to a lower threshold drain voltage at which single-event leakage current (SELC) occurs. Furthermore, the heavy-ion-induced SELC degradation in the drain and gate currents of the SiC MOSFETs exhibits a strong dependence on the heavy-ion’s angle of incidence. The devices’ behavior significantly alters when irradiated with heavy-ions at different incident angles under the same fixed bias and total fluence, as also confirmed by 3-D technology computer aided design (TCAD) simulations.","PeriodicalId":13406,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science","volume":"72 8","pages":"2386-2394"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10972072","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144868061","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
