‘Game Changer Perovskite Can Detect Gamma Rays Scientists at EPFL have developed a game-changing perovskite material that can be used as a cheaper and highly efficient alternative to gamma-ray detectors. Perovskites are materials made up of organic compounds bound to a metal. Propelled into the forefront of materials’ research because of their structure and properties, perovskites are earmarked for a wide range of applications, including in solar cells, LED lights, lasers, and photodetec...

New Perovskite Material Could Serve as Cheaper, Better Gamma-Ray Detector Written by AZoMDec 10 2020 Perovskite materials are formed of organic compounds linked to a metal. These materials occupy the forefront of materials research due to their structure and properties and are suitable for an extensive array of applications, such as lasers, solar cells, photodetectors and LED lights. The 3.8 kg large CH3NH3PbBr3 crystal growth at LPMC for high-energy gamma-ray detection. The Rubik cube next se...
