Abstract

The efficiency of group II-VI solid solutions doped with chlorine and copper as X-ray downconverting phosphors for photodetectors is investigated. It is found that the phosphors based on the group II-VI compounds and prepared in oxygen-free medium can increase the photodetectors sensitivity to X-ray radiation more than one order of magnitude and enhance the photodetectors photovoltage versus X-ray radiant flux characteristic linearity.
