Advanced characterization and computational design
PNovel materials and devices for photon and ionizing radiation detection
This symposium will focus on novel materials and devices both for photonic (UV-Vis) and for high energy applications. These include functional materials like organic and perovskite as photodetectors or scintillators, together with high-Z materials sensitive to X/ γ-rays and charged particles. The symposium will discuss the performance and challenges of new materials for use as both direct and indirect radiation detectors.
Scope:
This symposium will focus on novel materials and devices for the sensitive detection of photons and for the conversion of high energy ionizing radiation. The aim of the symposium is to bring together the European Community working in this field, to foster the exchange of knowledge, identify the emerging trends, and launch new collaborations.
The focus will be mainly on organic semiconductors and metal halide perovskites, although the symposium is open to the discussion of alternative materials. The topics will be focused on electromagnetic radiation detection beyond the visible range. Novel developments on active materials both for direct detection and for indirect detection (scintillators) will be covered by the symposium.
Hot topics to be considered:
Growth/synthesis of new materials for radiation sensors:
- Growth methods for perovskite and organic crystals and defect characterization
- Nanoparticle and polycrystalline perovskite and organic films
- Fabrication of hybrid and meta-materials
Materials and devices characterization:
- UV and high energy photon detection
- NIR photon detection
- Noise and defects in advanced detectors
- Materials for neutron and charge particles detection
- Scintillators for fast timing detection and imaging
- Interaction of nanomaterials and nanocomposites with ionizing radiation from fundamental to applied perspectives
- Long-term stability, environmental effects and radiation hardness
