- Additional information
- The results reported in this paper are the first step toward the development of high-energy resolution AlInP X-ray spectrometers, using non-avalanche AlInP photodiode. The use of cooling systems was not required in such spectrometer (AlInP has low thermally generated leakage current due to its wide bandgap), consequently it has low mass, volume, and power consumption. These characteristics make the developed technology important for X-ray spectroscopy in space missions and terrestrial applications outside the laboratory environment (e.g. ocean mining).
